bob_bill Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The hurricane appears to have pushed some wood storks north as I had 6 in the back yard the other day. But this ibis I have named Linguine (with clam sauce) because he can find a clam in less than 2-3 minutes, one after another. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShunCheung Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thanks, Shun. No worries. It turns out that Sally Mack and Matthew Currie both started Monday in Nature threads this morning, apparently within just one minute from each other. Thanks to a new feature on photo.net, I managed to merge the threads together so that all posts appear on this one thread. It looks like Sally's post was earlier by one minute, literally. Therefore her post is the first one. Thanks to Sally and Matthew. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Currie Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I almost waited a little longer, but I was afraid my poor inky caps would deliquesce completely! No worries anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Unless photo.net adds the feature to automatically start these weekly threads (a feature I have long advocated but not yet implemented, and admittedly there are far more important issues to address at this point) or we go back to have one person to start threads week after week, rain or shine, we are bound to have some occasionally miscues. I am sure it is going to happen again in the future. Hopefully we can quickly converge to just one thread. This morning, I discovered the duplicated threads soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Parsons Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I must admit I noticed the duplication as soon as I had posted my meagre offering, but did not want to tread on any toes by mentioning it. Glad the system was able to cope with the merger ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you by any chance know of a good insect identification guide for northern California that you could recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
