myRepono API – DO NOT DELETE

Do not delete this page or changes its URL slug, it is required for myRepono backupto work.

This is a placeholder page that is used to load the myRepono API file. This is required because direct access to the myRepono API file (/wp-content/plugins/myrepono-wordpress-backup-plugin/api/myrepono.php) is disabled and always returns a 403. I was unable to find the cause of the 403 and a way to turn it off, even after allowing the URL path in GoDaddy’s firewall setting and also disabling WordPress’ .htaccess file. I’m guessing it comes from GoDaddy and it’s security setting or firewall.

Solutions tried that didn’t work:

  • Allowing the myRepono URL path in GoDaddy’s firewall setting.
  • Disabling WordPress’ .htaccess file.
  • Pass-through redirect using Redirection plugin.

The following work around is being used to allow backups to work:

  1. This page was created with the /myrepono-api/ slug.
  2. A custom page template based on the slug was created.
    • /wp-content/themes/wildtones/page-myrepono-api.php
  3. The custom page template loads the myRepono API file and then exits.
  4. myRepono configuration was updated to use this page, instead of accessing it’s API file directly.

Dark Eyed Junco Bird Call iPhone Ringtones
$1.29
Buy in iTunes
Our first true bird of winter is the Dark-eyed junco. These medium-sized sparrows have an overall gray or dark brown appearance with a white belly and a pink bill. They spend their summer breeding along the western mountains and well into Canada and then as the weather gets colder, they invade North American backyards by the thousands. Spending much of their time on the ground, they hop around the bases of trees or underneath feeders looking for fallen seeds. If you keep your feeders full throughout the winter, there will most likely be a flock of Dark-eyed juncos in your yard! These pretty slate gray harbingers of winter have a loud yet very sweet sounding call.

Originally a native of the American Southwest, wild caught House Finches were caged and illegally sold as "Hollywood Finches" to the early 20th Century pet trade. When a few were set loose in the East in the early 1940's, they did extremely well. And now the lovely song of this little "exotic species" is one of the harbingers of Springtime throughout the US. Recognized by his bright red head and irrepressible desire to sing during breeding season, the highly adaptable House Finch is now found on feeders and in urban areas around the country.

White-winged Crossbill Bird Call iPhone Ringtone

These gorgeous finches are boreal forest inhabitants and are designed to retrieve the heavily protected seeds of white pines with unusual beaks precisely adapted to this. The upper mandible is much longer than the lower, and they cross one another. This enables the bird to pry open pinecones and easily remove the seeds hidden deep inside. In fact, these birds are so well designed to eat these seeds that they may eat 3000 of them in one day!  If you are unsure from a distance what finch you are looking at, just listen as White-winged Crossbills have a lovely and unmistakable song.

Common Redpoll Bird Call iPhone Ringtone
$1.29
Buy in iTunes
Nearly every other winter, the Common Redpoll is a welcome winter visitor to backyard feeders. Shortages of seed crops in the northern forest cause massive flocks of redpolls to move south, invading bird feeders across the Northeast. The redpoll is a small-headed brown and white bird, with streaky sides, a red forehead, and black around a yellow bill. It’s easy to mistake a Redpoll for a similar-looking House Finch, but no other finch has black around the bill on the face. Often seen in groups, Redpolls can sometimes “take over” your bird feeders with flocks numbering more than a hundred individuals! You can attract Redpolls to your yard by offering fresh niger (thistle) seed in multiple finch feeders during the winter months.
