OT: Something to ponder on?

Post by Orm »

I am pondering on whether it is ok to post pictures of birds here.

Currently wondering if anyone has seen any migrating birds who stayed the winter, instead of flying southward.

Birds aren't real. It's the hot, new conspiracy theory. [:D]

This isn't a bird, Orm. It's a pre-bird.

Here is one for you: this Pileated Woodpecker is rare in these parts at any time of year, let alone in the depths of winter.

And these two Great Horned Owls - the biggest owls after our Great Grey Owl (Manitoba's Provincial Bird).

More goats. And here they have decided that they are the masters of the world. Or at least the backyard.

My wife is an amateur photographer (won an award as well). She just so happens to have some birds in her profile...

The title is something of an homage to Geoff Lambert (The Gorn) whose Things to Ponder thread started the bird pictures idea but also had some content that the moderators didn't like.
