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.

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:
