My chain is up to 114 with no shiny. That’s the number of bird species on my Life List as well.

Help, the lag is killing me

I’m happy to announce that I have common whitetail dragonflies around my house. Dragonflies are awesome.

My chain is now up to 101 with no shiny :/

I just found out that Ditto is a surname. It’s really funny reading a random news article and seeing that someone’s named Ditto.

12 minutes left and we just need 15k interactions for x2 tomorrow, guys.

One hour left in the day and we need just 54k interactions to have x2 tomorrow.

I’ve seen a lot of birds around my house this morning. Unfortunately, there’s been a lot of noise pollution from humans around me for several days now. Heavy machinery, untrained or poorly-trained dogs that bark all the time, and explosives do a lot to prevent me from feeling joy.

Serious question, guys: Is Hawlucha a bird Pokémon or not? I didn’t use it in my bird-only playthrough of X because I thought it seems more like a mutated man in a suit than a bird, but I recently saw someone else use it in their bird-only Nuzlocke of Scarlet, so now I’m questioning myself.

When I look at Hawlucha, I see a little man in a bird-themed wrestling costume, not a bird Pokémon. And it’s not just because he’s got hands and feet, because Golduck has them too and I do see Golduck as a bird Pokémon because it looks like a mutated bird monster to me, not a man in a suit.

Am I alone in thinking Hawlucha isn’t really a bird Pokémon but a humanoid Pokémon? Could anyone help me figure out how I should see it?

Woah, I just made it to round 40 of the Higher or Lower game. Hopefully a sign of my luck improving?

Does anyone know what the rate of normal Pokémon vs. event Pokémon is when you’re breeding events? I know that you’re more likely to get events if both parents are event, but what is the ratio of events to their normal counterparts when both parents are event?

My chain is up to 90 and still no shiny :/

Friday is the summer solstice, the first day of summer, and it looks like summer is going to hit like a truck. Forecast is showing 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius) and full sun every day for six days. Help. My DNA is not remotely suited to this.

It’s been several days since I last got to add a new bird species to my Life List, but both yesterday and today I did manage to finally definitely catch birds that I’ve been hearing for weeks on camera, and now I’m up to twelve caught (this is not counting the birds that I caught on camera but couldn’t definitely ID):

Red-shouldered hawk (January 20th—way before I started researching birds and decided to start birding), blue jay (April 20th—I was only looking for blue jays at this point), eastern phoebe (May 10th—when I started looking to ID other birds around my house), northern cardinal (May 13th), turkey vulture (May 22nd), indigo bunting (May 24th), brown-headed cowbird (May 27th), Carolina chickadee (May 30th), summer tanager (June 1st), eastern bluebird (June 3rd), tufted titmouse (June 16th), and eastern kingbird (June 17th).

Happy Friday the 13th, everybody. I’m going into the day with 111 bird species on my Life List.

I have a daily desire to flop into a snowbank now, but there’s no snow to be found. I’m not built for the heat. I’m built for the cold and darkness.

After thirty days of birding, I’ve now gotten 106 species added to my Life List.

I really wish it was September/October.

The storms have been so bad this year and I’m so tired of it, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop any time soon.

Apparently Litten is a surname. I just discovered that. Imagine sharing your name with a Pokémon.
