Saw so many great birds in between getting up from typing last time I wrote a post and sitting down to type one now. Let me tell you about some.

I saw a really great blue jay. I saw several merely great blue jays in flight, from below, their distinctive dippy sort of slow flap they use when they're just cruisin' and their palest gray, wonderfully expansive bellies--all very well in order, but without a better look at the whole bird, you can't get a sense of what you're really dealing with. The really great one was much nearer me, in a tree; a most pert little fellow. Full-grown youngster with a slight, sharp build, very sunny sky-colored blues, a tall crest, a short dark beak and comically round and large of eye. He called loudly at swift intervals, as if to banter, and hopped about freely.

You know what? I'm extremely tired. I am an early bird, ha-ha. I'll tell you about the hawks tomorrow. It'll be rad, you won't wanna miss it.

Peace, horse dogg maniacs
