One of those lives in my back yard. It's lived here longer than I have
I'd like to challenge our resident space nerd to photograph the comet. I'll try to stay up a little tonight and view it. It should be visible to the naked eye. But, my damned neighbors have security lights! in the country!
If I knew this comet was coming, I would have purchased an adapter for my old telescope.

True. Though, I think it also has to do with what birds are common here. White ibis is ubiquitous here. I've probably seen 40 of them this morning and I (mostly) wasn't looking for them. On the other hand, species that are common in other parts of the US, are rarities here. I never see blue birds or goldfinches for example. Heck, the American crow is considered enough of a novelty to make the rare bird alerts.
Shoulda taken that opportunity to join everyone else down in Glendale, but noooo, I had to be the dummy who chose to stay up north. Grrr.
I think cardinals and snow are a classic picture combo, especially if you can throw in a few berries.
You'll notice that my example "See? I can take pictures of cardinals too!" picture was obviously not taken anywhere near here.
TIL that their mascot was an Ibis and not a pelican.
