1. Wow--fantastic-looking bird. Maybe it's some kind of new mutation.

Or he's eating something that caused him to turn blue (like flamingos eating shellfish to turn pink).

4. Totally makes me love toxins

Lets raise an army of them to exterminate all those fuckn Flamingos

2. Isn't it obvious? That stork only delivers baby boys.

12. Molly has become a phenomenon

her babies are growing by leaps and bounds.

Btw, I also watch the Critter Window. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/thecritterwindow-com This one is in Indiana. A guy puts seeds & corn out on the bank of a creek and attracts raccoons, beaver, muskrat and a host of birds. It's even lit all night so I stop in at all hours trying to see different critters.

Enjoy the storks! No eggs yet so these will interesting for months ahead. :hi:

13. The Critter Window looks like fun too!

Checking in on all this wildlife is very addictive! My kids are really enjoying it too.

Thanks for the links. :hi:

16. Here's an EAGLE's NEST cam -- Norfolk VA Botanical Gardens

more stuff about this venture: http://www.norfolkbotanicalgarden.org/e-community/eagle-cam

as an aside:

About two weeks ago I was sitting in my backyard doing some "bird watching" (naked eye only, no binoculars or camera)... and to my great pleasure I witnessed FIVE bald eagles circling high above. Then, to my even more immense pleasure... two of them grasped each other in a "death spiral" (and disappeared as they fell low enough to be obscured by neighboring trees).

Awesome! (I thought to myself, with no one else around to witness this "show")

10. It's not photoshopped... Here's another pic

A blue stork stands in its nest in Briesen, Germany. German Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) speculate the stork might have fallen in a paint pot
