How does one track bird migrations and anticipate their arrival in a particular location?

Bird migration is an incredible natural phenomenon that occurs twice a year, as birds travel from their breeding grounds in the north to their wintering grounds in the south, and then back again. As a birder, being able to track bird migrations and anticipate their arrival in a particular location is an exciting and rewarding experience. In this article, we will discuss some techniques and tools…

Eye of Time

On one of the planets overseen by the Lanterns, a strange object manifested. Circling, trapped in a dome, Hal swore it was a red eye and it was watching him.

The eye caused different alterations in time, causing the planet to be in a state of pause (kinda) and everything to happen very slowly. All the inhabitants were affected by this effect, something they did not notice for a long time. They asked the lanterns for help (although the message arrived very late), and the lanterns decided to protect the object. It would be dangerous if power could be harnessed and fell into the wrong hands.

When said changes and temporary alterations happened in their headquarters, they gave the "eye" to Hal and told him to take it to the League to be studied, unfortunately they did not have enough knowledge of cursed items, and perhaps one of Hal's companions should know something. Diana almost fell out of her chair when she recognized that the eye belonged to Kronos, even though he was long dead.

As they began to discuss where to put the eye, Justice League Dark was summoned, and Fate informed them not to worry, as someone would claim the eye soon (which didn't alleviate anyone's concerns.) Though it would be a few months before they could.

Discussions continued until a rip in space made itself known. And a teenager saw them furious, showing his fangs. How could they display Clockwork's eye like a decoration and argue like it had no owner? It took him years to find out where the Observants had left it, damn it!

Of course, the League had forgotten that the eye altered time, and a few months was the equivalent of a few seconds.

#dpxdc #Clockwork eye ended in DC universe #The Observants put it there #and no one discovered it for a while #because for the people in the planet it was like a normal day #they didn't realize the eye caused the planet to be slow #and the planet was secure so the laterns didn't check it frequently #dp x dc #dc x dp #Dr. Fate just predicted Danny coming #Danny is mad #he want his mentor's eye back #He doesn't like seeing Clockwork in pieces #Diana is questioning her life choices #Is Kronos really dead #clockwork is kronos #OA wanted to keep the eye but it was ruining their perception of time #Constantine just want to rest #Billy is scared because Danny is a unique species and he can feel it #But he doesn't know what Danny is #just that he never saw anything like him #and that powerful unknow creature is mad with them #The League realized the eye was actually an eye and Hal was not crazy

Isylhejif - A Deep-Sea Gentle Giant

An easy-going, gentle and easily excitable beast who roams the deeper zones of the Edge's oceanic biomes, the Isylhejif's flowing fins and vibrant pink glows are a sight to behold - to anyone who dares to swim so deep.

Appearance

The Isylhejif is one of the larger oceanic creatures, considered a leviathan by some, scaling in at over 216 meters (706 ft) in length from snout to tail tip. It has two sets of fins, and lures stemming from the ends of each and underneath its jaw.

The Isylhejif often presents its colors as deep shades of blue, the color varying slightly depending on the season. The membranes are primarily a shade of deeper turquoise, and these also rarely vary. It's bioluminescent markings do change color with the seasons - the depiction above is during the Glowcrest season.

It has lures, similar to many aquatic and semi-aquatic creatures of the Edge. The beings tail ebbs off into a large, flowy fin, which runs up the length of its neck. It has a bell atop it's head, which is a jelly-filled cap that produces poison and secretes it onto the Isylhejif's skin.

Behavior

The Isylhejif lives in a part of the Edge's oceans where the bioluminescent light of lunar fern kelp can barely stretch through the dark, and seeing is no longer a reliable way to hunt or navigate the rockier sea-soil clumps. So, Isylhejif rely on musatehkit echolocation and sound cues traveling through the water to find their way around.

While they are larger hunters, Isylhejif are often found in large pods, and are sometimes accompanied by smaller fish and creatures. They enjoy play and games of hide-and-seek, with the younger, more adventurous members of the Isylhejif pods hiding a bit further out into open ocean to challenge each other. They also engage in games of pretend, to help develop skills for hunting later in life.

Musatehkit

Isylhejif produce passive musatehkit (also known as worldsong) displays, and they commonly display Draping Choirs. Draping Choirs are the long notes of the world's symphony, echoing low and resonating with those who hear them for cycles after.

These passive displays often resemble long, thick ribbons of color, flowing in wave-like rhythms across the dark skies or through water. As Isylhejif are passive displayers, when the entire pod is focused and in-tune with the worldsong, beautiful shows of flowing color will trail through the waters behind them. The resonant frequencies of the Isylhejif's notes can typically be felt ringing through one's ribcage if you're close enough to a pod.

Doc has what I like to call the hawk facing effect, where from a glance...

He's intimidating, fierce, aggressive,

But when put into a position where he's smaller or can't out-chaos a situation...

This is what he looks like to me

#original post #the introvert has spoken!#hermitcraft #shitpost #docm77 #the same rule also applies to Grian #just an observation I've seen between them #i just really love front facing birds of prey #theyre just :O #theyre not supposed to be presented as the same species btw #i know what tumblr is like

Are hels Joel and Lizzie still in a romantic relationship if so then I thinks since it would be a exaggerated version of their marriage then they are very volatile

Lily has Lizzie’s never trust men comments(but actually means it) and jone has season 2 of empires Joels obsession with finding people to make babies with

So They are very much like Zeus and hera

One moment they are sickeningly sweet then they start complaining about each other’s faults to others without communicating with each other

Maybe lily has told jone about her past with Timmy so when ever she makes a comment on how useless men are he uses Timmy as a scapegoat/stress ball

i’m gonna be honest the only part of empires i saw was when the hermits crossed over so uh. i’m really not qualified to speak abt hels lizzie and joel’s relationship except to say that yes, they have one, and yes, it’s probably very unhealthy (which is standard for hels HAH)

the uh. baby-making. i dunno how that works in empires (and tbh i don’t want to know) but in my interpretation of minecraft, players are only spawned by the universe. there’s no such thing as players uh…. making other players. so i don’t think that would factor in? unless he had a weird obsession with making like, armor-stand children, and pretending they were real for some reason.

(as a sidenote, sometimes players end up kind of ‘adopting’ baby players that spawn on multiplayer worlds/hubs. but that’s not the norm, because most players spawn on a private world and only gain access to inter-world travel when they’ve already grown up a bit, around the teenage stage. so the idea of raising children and having family units like that is very atypical, but not unheard of. and ofc you have close-knit social groups that form all the time, like found families, but just with adult players.)

#hels to pay au #HTP worldbuilding #HTP cast #I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE…#the only frame of reference most players would have for biological families would be from mobs #like they know animals and villagers can reproduce #and they might observe the care-taking of the babies and apply that to their own social units #but it’s not something inherent to the player species

I said, "Can I examine the dead human now?" Indah just looked tired. "Can you humor me and please refer to the victim as 'the deceased' or 'the victim' during the course of the investigation?" She turned to go, not waiting for an answer. She missed Mensah mouthing the words stop it at me. (Fugitive Telemetry, 12-13) Thiago was standing out on said observation deck, trying to reason with a potential target. (That’s "potential" per the earlier conversation where Dr. Arada said Oh SecUnit, I wish you wouldn’t call people "targets" and Thiago had given me the look that usually means It just wants an excuse to kill someone.) (Network Effect, 9)

ugh, hate it when these special snowflakes ask me not to refer to people as "the dead human" or [checks notes] "the human who i'm gonna kill here in a minute," sooo annoying 🙄

#guess who has finally started the network effect reread slash notetaking endeavor? this guy!#and this is the very first thing i noticed #(i feel i should clarify that page 9 is the first page in my copy lol. i can be observant! when i try really hard!)#i just love mb's push-and-pull between how it wants to refer to things and how the humans want it to refer to them #and how it like. snarkily corrects itself in its narration in such a way that you can just feel the eyeroll #e.g. 'Prematurely eliminating the visible targets (excuse me‚ potential targets) on deck #might just tip us out of incipient shitshow into full-on shitshow.'#or how in FT it starts saying 'the deceased' when talking to indah but continues using 'the dead human' in its internal monologue #WHICH i just think is INCHERESTING especially alongside mb's crankiness about very benign preservation naming conventions #it wants to use the words it wants to use! this is a display of independence! but hey guess what mb sometimes #other people have rights too lmao and yeah sometimes you gotta make concessions to their delicate little sensibilities #like ''not wanting to think of people as 'dead members of my species' or 'about-to-be-dead members of my species'''#murderbot #mb identifiers #mb categorization #the murderbot diaries #my posts #f #linked to #i also think it's funny that mb took arada's feedback and just added the word 'potential'. like i don't think that's arada's problem here?#AND it's interesting that later when mb is doing the dramatic rescue it decides 'at the last second'#to change from 'kill-hits' to 'wound-hits' because 'Thinking of Arada’s sad face made me too uncomfortable'#HMM. MUCH 2 THINK ABOUT

okay not to spam everyone with City Nature Challenge stuff but there's something so fun about seeing the observations from people that started observing stuff literally the minute it started.

just random photos of snakes and beetles and so many plants all taken in the middle of the night on the other side of the world. I love it so much.

in other news, our iNat notifications and dashboard are about to be a disaster

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #inaturalist #city nature challenge #city nature challenge 2024 #I've seen some really cool species I'd never seen before including a beetle so beautiful I got emotional looking at it #it's also really fun watching the observations starting to appear from different places as the challenge starts in each timezone #I feel like I need to make a list of cool species I've found but I know it would get so fucking long
