I heard that they can lift the lids of garbage cans to get at the food inside. I rarely see these birds in the suburbs though. This is only the second time I've seen a hawk. I see deer all the time, I go to this great hill with mansions and I see groups of deer twice a month. They are the most shy animals. what animals do you often see?

Cult Icon Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 1 hour ago, Enrico_sw said: Yeah, makes sense. I used to listen to history podcasts when I took the metro (that was when civilization still existed... before the quarantine Stone Age ). They were short podcasts (15 minutes). I dunno if I could do it with an audiobook, I'm too used to read in a chair (or in a train/plane for long journeys) while listening to music. I find that with audiobooks/lectures the efficiency is massive. For complicated texts or texts where you just want to read portions the audiobook shouldn't be used though. The audiobook saves 2 x time for me and I don't have to make any time to clear them. There are youtube channels filled with study music on loop, usually of the soft type!

They are the most shy animals. what animals do you often see? Yeah, crows are super smart. They also use car traffic to break their walnuts for them. I live in Paris, so humans are the animals I see most often... and then pigeons, dogs and cats But I try to go to the country and there I see boars, deers, crows, hawks, doves, eagles, squirrels. Snakes sometimes. I rarely see foxes, but I like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico_sw Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I used to live in Australia and they don't have pigeons there. This is what replaces pigeons in Sydney: cockatoos. Much better than pigeons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snakes sometimes. I rarely see foxes, but I like them. I used to have a beaver living under my tool shed. We have wild turkeys here too. I see the same one several times a month. A week ago a turkey surprised me in that it crossed a busy street mindfully. They are smarter than I thought. My favorite are the deer, they usually are in groups of 3-6 here and run across various properties. The downside of deer is that they ruthlessly eat all the flowers in the neighborhood. We mainly get small birds here. The most interesting ones are cardinals and blue jays. There are also wild geese but these are mainly in the fields. The most common animal are squirrels. They are everywhere. When covid happened I saw swarms of chipmunks, unbelievable- that spring. NYC has a lot of crows, ravens with giant rats & squirrels.

Sometimes I want to get out of here, Australia is probably a better place to live and with better wildlife. I heard new zealand is gorgeous and just better.

They are special to me for many reasons. In my neighborhood I saw another brown hawk do that to a woman, and it spooked her out. It flew low, over her head. Notably this was the same hill with the deer I just mentioned before, with very tall trees. There is bridge near Frenchtown. This bridge, at the center of downtown has a lot of tourist activity and eagles of various types, even bald eagles! like to hang out. They have no fear of humans and just settle down on the railings. what kind of animals do you see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any estimate on his return? Yeah..We will know more tomorrow when they get the MRI results. Hopefully it's just a mild sprain, X-rays were negative so that's a good sign. There's not timetable for AD's return, last week the team doctors said that he will be evaluated again in two weeks..My guess is 2-3 weeks from now https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-basketball-news-anthony-davis-injury-update-what-is-the-latest-news-on-the-lakers-stars-return/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
