- Comments: "*Continuing awesome bird found yesterday by Michael. Sitting quietly in a tree by Garland Ave when I arrived, where I would certainly not have seen it if Tracy didn't point it out to me. (Thanks Tracy!) After a walker passed by it relocated to another tree, vocalizing a bit. Wanted to hang with it for a while but given that it was obviously skittish I didn't stick around long, and in fact flew off when I stood up to leave. Photos

Clever man is a chicken; it can fly, but a little. Genius, on the other hand, is a migratory bird; it can fly at high altitudes until He disappears on the horizon!
