The Anecdotal Evendence Continues to Align

2 years ago today this Hawk almost hit my head while swooping into the yard after the chickens at my feet. I really think the vast majority of our Hawk attacks have been at this time of year. This aligns with the hawk migration patterns that @ChicoryBlue shared with us.

I always get out my Mom’s Christmas China after Halloween.
I use it for Thanksgiving as well as the whole Christmas season since I only get to enjoy it this time of year.

That is amazing. Very pretty! I would use it as much a I could as well.

Yes, and also a battery blanket (which keeps the battery from freezing up).

This makes me shiver just thinking about!

Good evening folks

A vehicle plug in, is an engine block heater.

In extreme conditions it gets so cold that the oil in the engine becomes so thick it can't work so you plug in the car to keep the engine warm so the oil does not get too cold. Once the engine is running the internal combustion keeps the oil warm.

In lesser conditions you still need engine warmers for diesel engines as the diesel fuel will have the same issue. Unlike gasoline it will also get thick at very cold temperatures and you plug in the car to warm the fuel so the engine will start.

Wow! Thank you everyone! One day that knowledge may come in handy

How lucky for you! Beautiful ladies and eggs.

I'm very lucky to have those four hens in my backyard they've made a big difference to my life.

It's utterly magnificent. And how special that you get to think of your mum while using it.

It's really good to have that migration data. The visualisation is very effective. I'd also like to know N. How many birds does this data represent? Does grey indicate no data, yellow no sightings?
