 Attack Flaminken!1886 viewsOldalbatross being attacked by what appears to be a cross between a flamingo and a chicken. Well, there is a flamingo in Victoria Butterfly Garden and there are farms nearby that I am sure have yard birds.

I kind of think IT, whatever IT is, liked my shoe laces. My guess is that IT doesn't eat butterfly's.

 Northern Rough Winged Swallow2549 viewsDue to the easy access of the nest I will not disclose it's location.

 Slim1836 viewsIf slim had been on the freeway instead of a bike way he would be known as a sail snake.

(sail snake: a snake that has been repeatedly run over until flat and dried. Then you can pick it up and sail it like boomerang.)

Not to worry, Slim is living large in Virginia and having a fresh tourist everyday.

 Observer1855 viewsTypical observer, sharp eyes and very loud on Liberty.
