Friday Face Off ...

The Red Wing Blackbirds are showing up everywhere now ... another wonderful sign of Spring :)

David gave the right answer to last weeks question, so I will quote him in case you didn't read it ...

Question: What do Turkey Vultures do that makes school age boys think they are awesome?

David's answer:  "Projectile vomit and crapping on their own legs would do it, Andrea!" 

 

We would take our Turkey Vulture to education programs at the schools and when we explained these two habits ... they crapped on their legs to keep themselves cool and they would projectile vomit on anything that threatened them.  The boys cheered and laughed ... the girls thought it was disgusting 😝

P.S. 

I made a promise to a friend that I would post this ... if I haven't mentioned it before, Turkey Vultures are social birds and once they are comfortable with you, they can be playful :)

So, do you know what Winnie is looking for?  

These are all of the mysteries I have read since we moved here (4.5 years ago).

This is my reference library ... 

So, much to my surprise, my lady hawk visited me again ... she is awesome and  I love having her in my world 💗 

Then another surprise as I was sitting at a red light, I had another visitor ... a red wing black bird, perched on my mirror and then hopped down on the door and once he saw his reflection he started pecking at it ... that bird does not belong in his territory :)  What a delight!

 I love nature and all it's wonderful creatures ... I wish all of them (or at least most of them) would pay me a visit.  It lifts my spirit to be among these wonderful characters .  Hoping you are all enjoying a sunshiny spring ...
