@Miraz Nice. Log trucks are scary in a car on a narrow 1-lane dirt forest road but I guess not so bad on a modern road

@Miraz supposedly there are trumpeter swans in my area but I’ve never seen them! good catch!
@JohnPhilpin I suppose there are diminishing returns with each new world model. Reciprocity failure sort of thing. Too much information, to much tuning, and eventual training on its own (and others’) outputs.
@Miraz thanks! Normally they’re not as close, preferring flooded rice fields & wildlife ponds far away from us humans. What a lucky day.
@ericmwalk mmm how fortunate he is!
@Miraz smart birds! though that following behavior would make me a bit uneasy
@hawaiiboy no argument from me on any of those points!
@Miraz besides the western tanager, the western oriole gotta be in the top three of colorful birds native to California
@Miraz I’m unfamiliar with herons being that okay with nearby humans. Very cool.
@Miraz awwwee!

@Miraz so very long for not being a shorebird!
@Miraz 🥰
@Miraz I love this. There are a lot of old rock quarries in California and they’re all barren, sometimes with winter-time ponds.
@hawaiiboy what a crazy day. Enjoy your time in California!
@Miraz that’d be me lol
@hawaiiboy good luck. Hospitality is an odd choice for them
@joshuapsteele glad you’re back to Mastodon. Tons of tech people there. Bluesky is definitely where the scientists went.
@Miraz that’s insanity
@Miraz hooray!
@news awesome
@lex 😔
@Miraz these birds migrated from Alaska‽ Wild! Clearly very accomplished navigators.
@jack nice!
