…you forget where you parked your truck?

It’s crazy how many fulvous whistling-ducks we’ve seen this year!

It’s a coastal bird from here south, except when it winters in South America.

We watched every episode of Survivor 46.

It was good all the way down to the end.  The final three.  Then the jury picked the winner at the final tribal council.  That’s where it went wrong.  They picked the winner based on something that wasn’t even part of the game.  The “jury” awarded the title of Sole Survivor to the player that needed the money most, not the one that played the best game.  Outwit, outplay, outlast.  That’s what Survivor is purported to be about.  It doesn’t say anything about who needs the money for a fresh start.

I think Survivor needs to add a new feature: jury instructions before final tribal council.  Remind the people who just played and lost what the contest is supposed to be about.

Tiny little bird, as the name implies.  Seen here hovering in preparation for a crash dive after a minnow.

A summer visitor to our southern coasts and up the east side.  Lives in Cuba and the Caribbean in the winter.

All these little dots out on the water.

They’re least grebes.

It’s a really southern bird, only touching the southern tip of Texas.  From there it ranges down through Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and a lot of South America.
