  • Some do, but because of the prevalence of automatic coffee machines and microwaves there isn’t as much of a need outside specialty coffee drinkers.

    The argument about speed and convenience doesn’t work in the US because of the outlet voltage as well. The 110-120v outlets don’t provide the same level of power to kettles so they can’t heat up as quickly. If you have a microwave it’s just as fast or faster.

    Ah. Good info. ebird to the rescue as usual. :)

    I must have missed that the cismontanus also had the signature dark hood when I was looking into it before. I’ve always known Junco to look like that and when I started trying to identify them I found that most places list “dark eyed junco” as a little gray bird and found out that apparently the one I’ve known my whole life in the PNW was a specific regionally named variant.

    Either way, they’re adorable and friendly little guys that hang around all year. :)

    They’re pretty chill birds. They will come out to food if you leave it out. They like foraging on the ground naturally so even if it’s just seeds sprinkled out. They’re also known as “winter birds” because they’ll just stay around even in winter. I go out in the snow and sprinkle seeds all over the top of the snow cover and they’ll hop around all over it. :)

    Forgot to mention it in my first post because I was stuck geeking about birds haha. Nice pictures. I like the one where it’s facing the camera particularly.
