Spring Sneaking In

Good lord. Sunshine. Bitsy narcissi. Plum blossoms. It's that slow popcorn thing, it's happening again. Fine place for it, Seattle.



And while I'm braggin' on Seattle, just tell me in what other major American city you could expect to see a different bald eagle flying around town for three days running?

It did make me laugh out loud, yes, though I'm not sure I would have described it that way.

Andy Hooper calls cormorants anhingas because they look a lot alike and because it's more fun to say "anhinga" than it is to say "cormorant." Anhingas are common in Florida, where watching them and their friends, the pelicans, egrets, and herons, was frequently the best part of my day when I stayed there for a month, more than a decade ago.
