Haha, I just watched this scene and I enjoyed the photography, the first shot through the fence is really cool! So I'm happy to know my pic reminds this to you. Fun fact, the lens I used was built the same year this movie was released.
 
Californians won't stop until they've screwed up every corner of the globe
Whatever you do don't let them vote
Should of scrolled before posting. You got that right.

So does he got have the right to scroll before posting or is it his story about California what he got right? Maybe both?
 
So, awhile back I had posted about a catalytic converter issue with my LJ. Well the old girl started marking her territory like an old British which meant a new rear main seal was needed. Also meant dropping the exhaust system. Think I found the converter issue.

What the inside of the the cat should look like. This is bank 1.

This is what bank 2 looks like. Kind of empty. I imagine the missing stuff is plugging up the downstream unit.

How dare you change the RMS. Didn't you get the memo just change the oil.
 
Looks like an eagle or a hawk. Not a buzzard. Possibly golden eagle. Hard to tell the size by the picture.
It was quite challenging to take this pic with my old 5lbs 600mm manual focus lens but I think it solves the mistery.

I'm pretty sure it's an eurasian buzzard aka common buzzard https://www.vogelwarte.ch/en/birds/birds-of-switzerland/common-buzzard

I see these raptors gliding around in circles almost everyday. While we do have some hawks and eagles in the alps, even a few golden eagles, they live higher in the mountains and they're rare.

A few days ago, while I was in my garden , I saw an unfamiliar black and white little bird staring at me 20ft away, it didn't seem shy so I was thinking "is it worth going inside to grab my camera?" Then suddenly, a buzzard coming from nowhere caught the bird which finally managed to escape minus a few feathers. It was impressive to witness this so close!
 
I downloaded a nice bird app last year when we were skiing. You download database based on your location. Then give it some basic info on the bird you see. It then gives you a list of possible matches with photo and audio (calls).

Merlin Bird ID

It also has a basic fact page

These guys were so funny up at Copper Mountain in Colorado. I wanted to know what they were. Any guesses?

Gray Jay. They'll swoop down and grab your food right out of your hand if you're not paying attention!

I did a solo trip last year at timberline, and I had a pair that were working me whenever my kitchen box came out. One would distract me while the other tried to grab stuff.
