Sparky, the Black Phoebe

 Called hawking, Black Phoebes catch insects in the air.

In their territory, they will "hawk" from one lookout post to another.

They also shadow dance for cameras.

Bird's prefer red cars?

A recent study reveals birds poop more on red cars than other colors.  A spokesman for the British Trust for Ornithology poo-poohed the bird-brained theory and suggested the key to avoiding bird poop was location.  


Concerning the above car in the "red rock" color category - it's location. location. location that determines the accumulation of white matter.


Have a chuckle:
