This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

My eyes! The detail! It hurts!

The goggles do nothing!

Excruciating is a strong word here.

[–] ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Completely accurate though. I've had to see the emergency opthalmologist.

I've never seen feather patterns this clearly, amazing!

I actually just got this photo on a whim during COVID (April 2020) when birds loved making nests everywhere, so it's shocking how much you can see here

This is a good meme

damn that's a high resolution photo. You can zoom in on each tiny feather and keep zooming to see each molecule & atom.

Holy crap, you really can.

Is there some sort of book about what it would be like to kill one?

[–] probablynaked@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Get thee to !birding@lemmy.world !!

[–] bachatero@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I didn't even know that existed here

[–] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

With all this detail, you can see the pure malice behind its eyes.

[–] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I love mockingbirds, I'd love to see something this detailed of them in flight with those lovely white spots, but I imagine that's not an easy shot to get

[–] bachatero@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Nyah nyah.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Wow! Is that a mocking bird?!

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
