Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's a small passerine bird. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuthatch

When I was in sixth grade, our science teacher had us go bird watching every school day and document the birds we'd saw. Eleven-year-old me immediately became obsessed with red-breasted nuthatches. To this day, when I see one, I'll yell out to my wife, "Look! A red-breasted nuthatch!"

Wait until you see a Great tit (Parus major)

I'm honestly kinda fed up with sites that prompt me to share my geolocation while they load. Why should I have to clear a prompt before accessing the site? And it clearly works well without knowing my location, so why make the prompt something everyone has to go through?

Thanks for mentioning this. I'm now pretty sure this is the reason some sites don't load at all in the app that I use.

A politically relevant one: https://www.crossing.us/intersections/donald/moscow (It's actually the intersection of "Don" and "Moscow". But judging from the other street names here, "Don" was probably intended to be the river in Russia.)

The story of why a tiny town in Kansas has Russian-themed street names is pretty fascinating (to me anyway): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munjor,_Kansas

It's fascinating to me too; I live in Ellis county and my wife and I both have Volga German ancestry :)

My wife took it as a highly romantic gesture when I sent her the link for our names. So thanks for the easy points!

I wanted to do the same thing, no results! I guess thats what having obscure names is all about

Yeah I wouldn't expect many streets are named "qqg3".
