Impress: I LOLed.

CpnHowdy: try getting Japanese people to pronounce Sukuwiwu. Sukuwiiwuru. Yes I am mean.

And Australian possums are also friendly and can be easily semi-tamed to take food from your hand. Many birds will too, especially magpies. Emus can be hard to keep off.

The parrots are beautiful, Ali. I'm thinking this is some sort of biological yin/yang balance to make up for all the scary shit you guys have over there.

No parrots here in chi-town. But no big hairy bugs either.

Good point Dar - I'm debating whether I want the parrots AND the bugs or if I should just be happy without either. hmmm

Beautiful. You know what kind of bird that is?

@Impress: What is it? Where did you take the shot? I love it.

classicman · 05-31-2009, 08:18 PM

impress - Painting of a bobcat?

glatt - that an osprey? I can't tell not seeing the head behind the wing.

glatt · 05-31-2009, 08:38 PM

no idea what kind of bird it was, but it was huge, and there were a bunch of them soaring in the thermals on the mountain side. I thought it was a big hawk or an eagle, but I don't know.

I also saw a skink, a box turtle, and a deer on the same hike.

glatt · 05-31-2009, 08:43 PM

Here's another shot of one of the birds, but is kind of out of focus. They were moving so fast the camera was having trouble locking onto them.

classicman · 05-31-2009, 09:24 PM

nope not an osprey. I think you're right probably a hawk.

No, real live animal at a zoo in Phoenix. Beautiful cat.

Probably the painted backdrop fooled him.

That zoo in Phoenix was a disgrace, to be perfectly honest. Deplorable. But that cat was magnificent.
