For the last few days I've been infatuated with birds that are more body than tail. Not sure why. Sometimes I'm fascinated by bills, sometimes (usually) by feet (seriously, take a good look at a bird's feet and then tell me they're not dinosaurs). I like parrots (for their beauty and their smarts) and sometimes (often) I like looking at the strong, sexy birds of prey... I'm always amazed that birds can be found in so many different shapes and sizes.
Anyway, right now it's the stumpy-tailed birds I'm drawn to (pardon the pun).
