Found the post. It looks like it's onigiri@lemm.ee that has it. Here's one of the regular commenters, and he gives a link in his comment here:
I've only seen the Flicker twice in about 15 years of living here so I get very excited when I catch him.
That's why I tell people to comment even if it's just like "oh that's really cool. I learned something." The talon post was huge and took a week to write and was huge, so I wrote one or 2 more and people were all quiet, so all I'm left with to think is I guess nobody was interested or it was too long, etc. If I can do a funny pic with a 2 sentence caption that gets the same or better reaction than me writing a paper after spending a day reading a research paper and collecting citations, guess which posts you're gonna get! 😆
I'm reading the stuff regardless, but I don't wanna be the person all day talking to themselves! I want to interact with the people of the group. We got almost 3k subs now, but there's maybe a dozen of you that talk to me, which I appreciate! But I wish it was a bigger chunk of the people.
Like I said in my SuperbOwl wrap up, I may be the one posting every day, but you guys are equally important to the community because you guys interacting is what keeps me motivated to make the posts. Even my quickest posts probably take 15-30 minutes of scrolling to find a story, writing a summary, and uploading pics. The benefit to me is zero, cuz I've already seen it. I do it to get you guys excited, and I want to see that excitement or I don't know it's there.
Ok, rambling on now so I'm donnnnnne.
I got a fun Barred Owl pic, a fun Hawk Owl pic, and some new quick owl research in my drafts folder. Which one do you want to see tomorrow?
