Awesome. Submitted my local canal, just been past a whole cabal* of ducks on my evening run.
* Wrong collective term but 1) it's a good word and 2) there's something schemey about large collections of ducks. Foul* business is being carried out.
May depend on the species. Mute swans are usually okay except for the occasional one that's an a-hole and is usually well known locally. I've heard that do some of the other species attack if approached.
Also here: https://visdeurbel.nl/ is an awesome service. Migratory fish get stuck at sluices in the city of Utrecht, that aren't opened much this time of year. So they installed an underwater web cam -- please watch it and when you see a lot of fish, please press the door bell so the sluice guard knows to open it.
Unfortunately it's just getting dark here right now.
I once had a channel on twitch for streaming my hummingbird feeder when it was a hot spot. That’s no longer up but I was part of a “team” of other animal channels (which had many ducks!)-
I clicked the link thinking of this SBemail and hoping somebody made a playable version of the game. It's a shame the easter egg on the end isn't playable post-Flash.
Stunning birds, some of the guys in the photography forums I'm on go down and spend days shooting the sandhill crane migrations, and the photos they come away with are breathtaking. Would love to make it down there one of these years.
The south side of SF bay is pretty awesome for watching ducks. But it's really the waterfront network of trails that are the ticket. That duckpond at Bayshores definitely attracts a diverse set, but you can find them all on a nice walk, with fewer zillionaires buzzing overhead on approach to the Bayshores airport.
I've been seeing ring-necked mallards in my driveway. They're bold urban birds; they don't take flight when a car approaches. I have to honk at them to get them to move.
Usually, crows are the only large birds nearby. The mallards are new.
I'm sorry for this experience, but we just can't add all locations right now :(
We were adding the locations to the map manually. After the app went viral, we got over 600 new places over 24 hours, so we can't handle it this way anymore. We are working on automating this process, and as soon as we'll figure it out, we are going to add all the locations, including yours, to the map.
Thank you for your contribution! It means a lot to us. Please, don't worry, we will add your submissions as soon as we can.
I really find this amusing. It's hard to explain why, but the author's sense of humor certainly overlaps with mine! What an awesome and extremely useful site.
