Battle Royale

haven't I seen you here before? (B-2)

For birds who have been in polls before on tumblr. Some were high-profile, some were low-profile, but they came up in the search results regardless.

The migrant appears generally blue from the front but brown from behind. The head, wings, and underparts are blue, and the upper-parts are light brown.

just finished coming out under fire by allan bérubé, a major entry in the field of monographs where each successive passage makes you go ‘fuck me that’s the saddest paragraph ive ever read in my life’ and then the next paragraph is somehow even sadder

What's your favorite bird?

This is such a difficult question, it's like asking me to choose my favorite child! BUT I have compiled a list of 10 birds I consider my favorites:

Tufted titmice (pic by Jocelyn Anderson)—my front yard is always filled with these little peanut thieves, and I love them with every fiber of my soul. They're especially funny in the winter when they get all puffed up and round

All chickadees—there are 7 types of chickadees, and I've only ever seen black-capped chickadees, but I love them all. They're so brave for such tiny birds

Carolina wrens—they're SO LOUD, and they have this incredible habit of sleeping in corners. People always post them on r/whatsthisbird thinking they're owls, but nope! they're just these little orbs (also, I recommend checking out r/sleepywrens. it just makes me happy)

Dark-eyed juncos—little snowbirds :) I especially love the slate-colored subspecies, but I adore them all. They're also a fascinating example of speciation happening in real time

Wilson's warbler—HE HAS A LITTLE HAT. No notes, 10/10

White-browed tit warbler—look at this thing. Cotton candy bird

Long-tailed tit—the Hokkikado subspecies is the one that's always shared online, but the other ones also have adorable angry eyebrows

Azure tit—the eBird description for this one is "Frosty, pale bundle of joy," and they are 100% right

Loggerhead shrikes, aka butcherbirds—I love these because their feeding habits are so incredibly bloody and violent, but they're so unassuming and cute. They're out there impaling their prey on thorns, but they're so small and chubby that you can never quite be mad at them for it

Red-winged wallcreeper: these look like what you'd get if you crossed a butterfly and a bird

@sunshinelulusplatoon​ @warriorsofsplatsville​ and I did some undercover gimmick rounds for a buddy that picked up the game in December lol

So, I just reached the Meridian plottwist in Andromeda and ahm... Bioware, do you know what numbers are? This would have been hard to make believable under any circumstances, but the fact that this has to have happened in under 600 years is kinda dumb. Do you know how short 600 years are? I have buildings in walking distances that old. The oldest building in my city is from 1200. Even with the whole scourge thing and assuming that the angara were created as a spacefaring race already, thinking they have no ruins to indicate this or even just a creation mythos or anything is kinda nuts. Mass Effect has always been fucked timeline wise but this is taking the cake for sure.
