Chuck In Winter

This bird is by no means domesticated. It's very difficult to get a photo of him. Here's one from yesterday morning.  I was snapping from my living room through the glass of the door, and he knows it. He took off seconds later, his beak stuffed with almonds.

  2. That's a song, isn't it. Mick Jagger?

    I think he knows how handsome he is.

  3. Yup, you got it! He does know how handsome he is--after all, he's a prince!

    We heard them sing at the Voodoo Lounge Tour in Memphis in 1994. Fantastic! I don't know how Jagger keeps his energy up, but it was non-stop for 3 hrs.!

  4. Prince Charles!

    Energy ... perhaps supplements? Expensive ones?

  5. Oh, sorry, I was referring to the frog looking at its reflection when I said "he's a prince"!

  6. You fixed my mistake (re Chuck) by referring to Prince Chuck of Wales--good one, Bix!
    Re Jagger, I could be cynical and say "drugs," but I think he wouldn't still be so healthy if that were the case.
