Mockingbird in Winter Light
I caught a flash of a Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) this morning while Charlie and I were out walking. The bird was too quick for a photo—just a flicker of gray and white against the quiet. The mockingbird in the image is one I saw during my time in Georgia.

The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Here's a bonus #borbs for #BirdoftheDay
I had just entered this trail in the forest at San Gerardo de Dota a few days ago, very early in the morning, and found a small covey of Spotted Wood-quail. These delightful (and extremely loud) birds live in the dark cloud forests at high elevations.
