Green-winged Teal on River

Green-winged Teal on River

View On Black

The male Green-winged teal is very wary of human presence unlike the female teal who goes about her own business ignoring any spectators. However if you are quiet and patient, this colorful bird will soon be parading up and down the river for your inspection.

Cormorant Drying Wings

Cormorant Drying Wings

I saw a little cormorant
Upon a rock, and grinned.
Her outstretched wings were soaking wet,
And drying in the wind.

I called to her, “You live
A very inefficient way.
Why, I reckon you’ll be standing
On that rock for half the day.”

The cormorant replied, saying,
“Stop a while and think.
I never need to take them off,
And wash them in the sink.

“I never have to spin them dry
Or hang them on the line,
So tell me which procedure
Is the simpler, yours or mine?”
