Who can ID the bird in my icon?

I did a prone bridge on Monday night. Held it for 30 seconds.

My abs STILL hurt.

Ah crap, was gonna write something else but I forgot. Dammit!

Oooh! I remembered. I was wondering where my My Little Pony shaped cookie cutters were. So I can make pony shaped gingerbread on the weekend instead of boring circle ones.

*hyperventilates* you have My Little Pony shaped cookie cutters?!!! *squeals* OMG!!!!!

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

Dude, I have MLP everything. Space and time and money have got the better of me but my collection peaked at over 500 ponies and a shitload of other merchandise.

The cookie cutters are actually part of my childhood collection (around 60 ponies plus other stuff) - which i won't sell off.

BTW - did you know that Paul Dini has a livejournal?

YAY MLP! XD I have all of my favorites still and people will unload their collections on me :D I'm not talented enough for customizing but I do have many-a double LOL

I did not know Paul Dini had a LJ - can you linky link?

Ooh which ponies do you have? I must know. :) I used to be VERY active in the online MLP community. But that was a few years ago now. Now I just occasionally read the main message boards and post sometimes.

Haha I'll have to make a formal list for you someday. That'll be a project. I don't think I have more than one or two rare MLP (maybe. I might have sold those years ago) most are pretty common years 1-9 ponies. A few after 1991 but not many.

Thanks for the Dini link

Some kind of wader... thingie?

:P

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

CORRECT!!

:)

I suck at waders. Is it a godwit of some sort? Still a bit in breeding plumage?

Give us some context, where was the photo taken?

[leecetheartist.livejournal.com]

This is without resorting to any field guides or anyfing..

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure where that photo was taken, but it's a species seen in Broome.

Not a Godwit, but I will admit it's very similar. You often find yourself scanning flocks of Godwits for these guys, who are rarer.

[leecetheartist.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I thought that the eye wasn't big enough for a Godwit.

My wader skills aren't very good, so I'll go have a look in the field guide.

Asian Dowitcher?

So is it an Asian Dowitcher?
