Every bird I've seen in my yard so far!

I also have a picture of a Fish Crow (I know it's one because of the noises it made) but I ran out of image slots and I figured it wasn't worth the slot since I already had the American Crow.

I've also seen the following birds but have failed to get a picture:

  • Female Summer Tanager
  • Female Pileated Woodpecker
  • Male Purple Martin
  • Probably seen both male and female Dowry and Hairy woodpeckers but I struggle to tell the species apart from each other.
    • It's also possible I've seen multiple types of small sparrows and also can't tell them apart lol.

A story in three pictures

And yes, I have dedicated feeders for the woodpecker, but the red bellied ones would rather scream at other birds instead.

Both pictures are mine, taken from my (very rural) backyard. The first one is a suspected fish crow, second is regular American crow.

So American crows are very predictable and they ALWAYS eat the cat food I leave out for the cats, to a point where I have to put extra or the stray cats won't get any. They don't care if I'm inside or outside with my camera; they land in front of the bowl, eat, and fly away. They're also very loud.

Today though, a smaller looking crow landed in the back on the trees (instead of by the bowl) and it sounded more like a raven than a crow when cried out. But where I live, there are no ravens. His voice was deeper and nor nearly as loud as the usual crow visitors. He also refused to get anywhere near the cat food and left without eating anything. I looked it up in my bird book and apparently there are fish crows where I live, in addition to the regular crows, but it's also almost impossible to tell them apart visually.

Any thoughts on this? Or is it a juvenile American crow? He just acted completely different and sounded different. He looked smaller too.

I sent my computer in last Sunday for an upgrade, specifically a new cpu, ram, motherboard, cpu cooler, and a new ssd. On Wednesday afternoon, around 3pm, I got a call from GS saying they were starting the work and to expect a callback on Thursday for an update. It is now Friday and I haven't gotten a callback and I can't reach them at all. Tried calling 4 times, all at different times of the day, and still no answer. Reached out via the app on their live chat and got a response but not from the store, just a generic agent. The agent said they'd let the store know and to expect a call from the store soon. That was hours ago.

I can't go much longer without a computer. I can't access my bank, healthcare, and other important stuff because not everything works on mobile. At this rate I'm going to have to go buy another pc; i have bills to pay!

I was told it would only take a few days and the call on Wednesday made me not worry but now I'm stressed because I can't get anything done, not to mention bored out of my mind because it was also my gaming computer.

Is there any way I can reach them without driving up there? It's an hour away.

Had I known it'd take this long, I would have never sent it in. Please note that this was NOT a repair, and all parts needed were provided with the PC. Additionally, all of the parts except 2 were bought in store, with only the cpu and ram being unavailable so I had to order that.

Honestly I just want an update.

EDIT: I gave up trying to reach them remotely and drove the hour to go in store. They said the pc was fully built but needed to be tested. It appears they have one guy doing everything, and to quote, he's "stuck on phones". I did however get a direct number and even tested it in the store (the 2111 extension was wrong). They said I'd hear something tomorrow, so hoping for the best.

And to clarify, I don't want them to just drop everything and only focus on me, I just wanted an update and easier way to reach out. I also wish they'd communicate more on the details, like if they would have told me they only have one guy doing everything, I wouldn't have used that service. They really made it seem like multiple people would work on my pc and they even said "any agent can do it" so I was surprised it was just one guy.

I dropped off my custom built gaming computer at GS on Sunday for a scheduled appointment to replace all of the following with new/better parts:

-Motherboard

-Cpu

-Cpu cooler

-SSD (moving boot drive to faster ssd with more storage)

-Ram

ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE! I bought every part separately and included them with the build, so nothing should need to be ordered or sent away. All parts have already been confirmed to work together and fit together in the case.

I wasn't able to get a clear time frame on how long this will take, so I was wondering if anyone had any idea. I'm not in a rush or anything like that I'm just curious.

If anyone is wondering why I didn't replace the parts myself, it's because I'm a clumsy idiot who struggled to install my 4090 when I got it. I decided to just not risk anything because I'm already a BB (Best Buy) member so most of this was covered, and all the parts are insured. Additionally, I live in the middle of no where so the only option that isn't a 2 to 3 hour drive is BB.
