DIFFERENT FEATHERS IN STRANGE PLACES
A few day back I talked about different birds seen in places not ordinarily seen in back yards or places not necessarily ordinarily seen.
A few years back when making a study on the watermen of the Chesapeake Bay and while in the middle of the bay with land about five miles away in every direction, a Cockatoo landed on the boat.
Out of nowhere!
Now these are expensive birds and must have escaped from some collector on shore somewhere and needed a landing spot because five miles is a long flight for a captive bird all in one gulp.
He/she hung out for a while. Ate some handouts and eventually took off for parts unknown.
The one shown here was taken last year at the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine Florida and seems to be waving at us.
