Get around
See
- 🌍 Pixley National Wildlife Refuge (from SR-99 take exit 56 5.7 miles west), ☎ +1 661 725-2767. This wildlife refuge is the winter home to up to six thousand sandhill cranes from September to March, with numbers peaking in January. The refuge's habitat also supports a variety of raptors and waterbirds, accessible via a single 1.5 mile loop trail that leads to an overlook of the wetlands. Visitors hoping to see cranes should use their ears as much as their eyes - the cranes have a distinctive call, and will often be found outside of the refuge in nearby fields during daylight hours.

gollark: I ran into a ton of problems with `require` somehow.
gollark: PotatOS actually has its own very hacky `require` implementation because of some problem or other I forgot.
gollark: Indeed it does.
gollark: Weirdly, `"0"/"0"` seemingly results in them being converted to numbers instead of going through potatOS's string divison handling.
gollark: Apparently not, since `debug.setmetatable` won't let me override division.
