I recently mislabeled a vulture so here's how to tell Turkey and Black Vultures apart. The Turkey Vulture on the left has light colored feathers underneath its wings the whole way along. The Black Vulture on the right has light feathers only at the tips of its wings, like fingers.

If you see this, I IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using without explanation.
A meme with two images. The top image is a rusted out bus body, missing the bits that should go under the hood. It's backed into a parking space in front of a tree. Top text reads 'An old bus.' Bottom image is an ancient Egyptian statue of a god with a canine head. Bottom text is an ellipsis.

Moment from a camera trap showing a wooded area with a mostly frozen pond, nude trees and bushes, a bunch of brown leaves, and a moss covered something. Oh, also there's a slightly out of focus bobcat face in the bottom right, looking straight into the camera. I want to kiss their very pink nose, but I also don't want to die.
