“Wow—look at you!”
“You know, you were my Dad’s favorite bird.”
“Yes, I’m talking to you. Look at you looking at me. You look just like a Greyhound dog, all
elegant-faced and friendly and long-legged.”
“Now you are acting like a Greyhound—walking over all
friendly like.”
“Yes I see that incredibly long bill of yours and
beautiful prance.”
“Wait! Don’t
turn away, I didn’t mean to offend you with the long bill comment. I guess you are kind of sensitive about
it. Wait, WAIT! Watch where you are going! Look up!
Don’t walk with your head down!—you're about to step into a really big pile
of Horse Sh*t!”
Where else but Texas could a birder photograph a
beautiful Long-billed Curlew in front of a really big pile of horse manure!
It is such a pleasure to see photos of this elegant bird! I like you comparisons to the lovely greyhounds!
ReplyDeleteYou can keep the horse pile!
LOL
ReplyDeleteHave you changed your mind about getting back on the road?
Hey, don't mess with Texas!! : )
ReplyDeleteYour bird photographs are really remarkable . . . interesting even to this non-birder. I would never have known what that bird is called . . . and now I do!
