Why do I hear my name being called in the woods? Gray catbirds
Hah it was killer doing a first course of stone for a slope stabilization project but I’ll see what I can do
I wonder if the neighbors would let me borrow their horse…
Not just you, I thought it was engaging and interesting as well. The comment about artificial refuges really strikes a chord as well, and I would add man made brush piles to the list of reclamation structures for encouraging animal resurgence.

If you’re in a situation where you need and have outdoor lights, placing them on a timer is an easy way to drastically reduce the negative impact to the surrounding wildlife. Choosing bulbs or using a film to produce yellow or amber light is another way to improve the effort, and can make it safer for people who have to move between the lit area and an unlit one since amber lights reduce effects of night blindness in people.
Hilarious and accurate
Neat article! When I was young, one of the schools I attended had a unique approach to punishment - you’d spend lunch and recess copying a page out of the OED letter for letter. No idea how many I ended up copying, but I was precocious. I wonder how many words my mental dictionary contains.
A ghostwriter is usually someone hired to produce a piece of written work, with set terms like deadlines, payment, possibly confidentiality, and other things. Things like memoirs (even some presidents’) are ghostwritten by someone who listens to rambling stories and takes notes to produce something readable.
Plagiarism suggests Person B presenting Person A’s work as their own without Person A or their intended audience knowing that fact. In this scenario there is no compensation for the claimed work and presumably no communication or cooperation between the writer and plagiarizer.
Great shot!
