"Birds will give you a window, if you allow them. They will show you secrets from another world - fresh vision that, though it is avian, can accompany you home and alter your life. They will do this for you even if you don't know their names - though such knowing is a thoughtful gesture. They will do this for you if you watch them." ~ Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds

Phoenicopterus ruber: Greater Flamingo
A couple of nights ago, one of Letterman's guests was Jack Hanna and he brought some baby birds for Dave to feed. The bird: a flamingo.
Baby birds aren't all that handsome, but they have a distinctive look about them. It's almost cute, if you're used to it.
