Nature Identification Contest (NIC) - win Steem Basic Income and have fun with nature - V.7
Hello all!
Want to win some #steembasicincome and learn about nature?!
Thanks for making the last NIC such a great conversation and for all of your great contributions. Really cool photos and insight from all! A bit late on this update, but better late than never!
Last #NIC found - (feel free to click to see it here):
@deerjay
@bashadow
@deerjay
@nelinoeva
@roxy-cat
all winning a share of #steembasicincome!!
Thanks for participating! It will take a week or so for your @sbi shares to show up in your account...
What is this?!
Saw these guys hanging out in the mountains of Central Asia... pretty cool!
Thus, welcome back to the Nature Identification Contest (NIC) v.7!!!!
We look forward to your contributions! Cool and beautiful photos! ;)
Basically it works like this:
post a photo that you took about something (e.g. a plant, animal, rock, etc) from nature that you would like help with as a reply below.
post context - maybe where you found it - forest, stream, desert, etc. How big it is (if it is hard to see).
other users will help to identify what it is as replies.
you do not have to, but feel free to repost or upvote if you are keen (if you like the contest - but not a requirement - but it helps support @SBI shares).
;)
What do you get?
Well first we learn from each other = cool!!!!!! And see cool photos!
Second #steembasicincome!
I will donate 100% of the earnings (from upvotes) of this post back into #steembasicincome for the participants.
I will also promise to have at least 4 shares of steembasicincome as bounty for the participants, irrespective of the earnings of the post. Obviously, the more that participate, the higher the potential shares of @sbi to be given back. Hopefully a whale will stop by and give the potential for many shares.... ;)
Thanks to all of the above for the participation. (as always it may take a week or so before your shares are connected with your accounts).
What is @steembasicincome? Well just click on the name (@steembasicincome) to learn more, but basically it is a system to help support our community through upvotes.
Hope you enjoy and that we learn from each other.
But hopefully there are some harder ones out there and some good participation.
Looking forward to your ideas...

Thanks to @shasta for this amazing meme and hope you enjoy yaking about this and exploring nature below!
Awesome to see the nature identification contest!!
Love those yaking yaks ❤ @snowyknight!! :-)
They remind me of a cross between a bovine and
muskox, long haired cows. They so cute looking at you!
when a yak, looks at you, you can never feel blue,
hairy, warm, big horns, black.
With a yak around, no turning back...
My friend @kaminchan posted this awesome #fridaysrock the
other day and we'd like to know if anyone knows what it is!? :-)

@kaminchan is always welcome here as we can help with rocks too. ;)
I clicked the link but it does not open... ;(
Hmmm maybe this way rocks :-)
That worked!!! Thanks!
Thank you very much for all your help! I just see this comment!
Got really busy weekend! Need to stretch time or make time goes slower!
They are interesting looking rocks! I don't know what exactly they are but they look like some kind of sedimentary rock.
Thanks @snowyknight! Those are definitely a couple of yak! It's also the photo that @shasta used for that awesome "join the yaking" meme..lol! I need help figuring out this tree/bush in my yard if anyone can help. I thought it was some type of holly but maybe someone can help me identify it. My photo shows how it looks right now on the left and the pic on the right is the berries it gets in Autumn.
This is a very interesting plant, @deerjay. I would say we are looking at Japanese spindle tree (Euonymus japonicus), an awesome evergreen shrub.
But I might be wrong though...
Thank you @roxy-cat!! I think you are 100% correct!! I was getting ready to take my photos to a garden center here to get it identified but now I know what it is thanks to you and @snowyknight and NIC!! 💖
PS..I wrote it down too so I wouldn't forget..lol! 😉
I'm glad I could help you. Nature is fascinating and discovering its mysteries is sometimes a challenge. In this case, it really helped a visit to the botanical garden. 😂
Awesome!!
Sure is a pretty bush/tree @deerjay! I'm not sure
what it is, I was gonna say a non pokey holly lol :-)
Keep on yaking! hehe
Thank you @shasta! Lol...yakity yak :)
I think that's a song isn't it? :-)
"Yakety Yak" by the Coasters..lol. 😉
You are welcome... the photo is very very similar to the @shasta meme, but the yak on the right is looking a different way and has a more distinct shadow... same yaks though! hahahaha. Cool photo... I like the waxy leaves which suggest annual right?
It does have a waxy looking leaf. Been in the same spot for years. Hee hee..yep..some yaks! 😀
I have no idea what it is, but it looks interesting that berry.
Thanks Neli! Looks like it's giving a raspberry at ya..lol!
Yep, Yaks they are! never saw one! Meanwhile... any ideias on who this cute bird is? Tried to identify it, but wasn't able to reach a conclusion. Photo was taken in Bali, Indonesia!
I searched for ''Indonesian white headed bird'' 🐦
and came across the White-headed Munia, Lonchura maja.

This might be your bird @pardinus! :-)
Good work. Cool bird, distinct head, bluish beak...
It is! Thank you! I feel lazy for not having used those broad search terms! 😂 Great to know who this guy is finally. And thank you @snowyknight for this great idea!
