Birds!

I saw a pair of Hooded Mergansers at the lake today! And this on top of the Ring-Necked Ducks, and Pie-Billed Grebes I've been seeing lately. Birds are just... cool.

And check out this photo site for birds. See close-up photography, such as this shot of a Double-Crested Cormorant, prove that life on Earth can look freakier than any alien species we can picture. I mean really, that eye. Too neat.

I guess I need some kind of bird icon, don't I?

Ta-Da! Two American Coots, doing what they do best, fighting over territory. : )

What a lovely bird! I love your description of the birdsong. Coots are plainer to look at, but they sound a bit like squeaky toys.
