Splash


Splash, originally uploaded by dumbeast.

Not a landing splash. More of a swimming around and then sudden kick splash.

OK. Was the hue of the head of this bird a little green? I hate to expose myself as a water bird geek but I've gotta go "common merganser" if their heads were a bit green. otherwise I have to guess not Cali native. I gotta be honest. I had to consult the book.

OK. There was no hue of any kind. The head was pitch black. Go back to your field guide.

And now, a little poem:

I see London,
I see France,
Katie's a closet ornithologist,
Underpants!
