Not that I want to catch any bird flu or anything, but aren't birds just the most interesting creatures? Especially here in Florida. You never know what kind of bird may attract your attention. Back in Oklahoma I routinely took my wee ones to see the "honk-honk buddies"--our name for ducks at a local pond. Like Florida, they had grown so accustomed to having people around they were quite tame and enjoyed the attention. Now I'm stuck on wild (not all that wild actually) turkeys and blue herons. Cranes. Last Friday I was able to walk right up to this fellow and he let me take his picture. I was no more than two feet from him. He was most obliging. I think I'll name him Percy.
