A "Nature" Forum?

[odanny]

This would be a cool forum, where people can talk about wild animals (not "Pets") and about wild habitat (not "Gardening and Landscaping")

It's not a niche topic only some people are familiar with, we are all familiar with it and usually observe it every day. There could be some interesting threads about it.

I'll start: There is a Robin that woke me up fluttering its wings outside my kitchen window. He kept landing on the ledge and looking in. I moved to my computer desk and now he is landing on that window and looking inside at me. I'm like, WTF? I can only guess he/she thinks that a hatchling is somewhere inside my house.

Questions like these deserve their own forum I think, but there are all kinds of questions people might have about something they saw while walking outside in the woods

this fellow is a little big for hide and seek.

My back yard.

This Robin is literally following me from room to room. This is just weird. It has gotten my attention all morning, I have no idea what it wants.

I had a big crow for company today while l sat on a park bench for lunch, anticipating the emerging magnolia buds.

So talking about the Swamp 24/7 is not enough for you?

Maybe, the feeder is empty, but the Robin does not feed on it, it's for Cardinals, Finches, Woodpeckers, etc.

I vote yes on this idea.

Go outside and see if he lands on you.

I had eight bucks (bachelor group) in the backyard last evening....Sadly, I saw one dead on the road this morning down the hill from my house.....Oh well.

My back yard.

That's the seeker, counting to 30.

I'd be so freaked out if this was one of the Cardinals who live near me, knowing the symbolism of this most beautiful bird.


One common narrative is that cardinals are believed to carry messages from loved ones who have passed away. Whether it's a cardinal visiting a garden or perching near a window, these moments are seen as a means of communication between this world and the next.

I knew a girl named Robin a right before Corona. She was fresh out of high school and I was two years older. So young, yet so fat. She needed to lose 20 lbs, but--like many fat girls--had a pretty face. Anyway, a guy in our office said I should have put the wood to her and he was right on. She had big breasts and was called Robin Big Breasts.

Anyhow, maybe there was a Robin girl in your life. Maybe it's this girl I knew.
