I swear that these birds spread panic wherever they go.
It’s hard to look ’em in the eye and not get caught up in it.

1/ The Liberal gov’t says handing over the Winnipeg lab docs to Parliament would undermine national security.
This is the world turned upside down. The opposite is true.
It’s the government that’s undermined national security - not Parliament.#cdnpolihttps://t.co/PXA579gDgB

After visiting the Galapagos so long ago, I made an effort to emulate the blue-footed booby’s mating dance. The only thing it stimulated Joan to was helpless laughter. Oh, yeah, I got a sore back.

Jim T – That comes perilously close to TMI. As for the specifics of the (failed) dance, I assume you remembered to pick up a small twig in your mouth, show it to Joan, and then casually toss it away. That can make all the difference, or so I hear.
How dare you invade his territory! Great photo.
Judith – Thanks! I swear they have this startled/stupid look all the time, independent of events. An odd way to go through life.
He/she? Reminds me of Big Bird with a bleach job, which might account for the startled look.
Alison – I don’t know the he/she-ness. I think I knew which was which at the time (lead dancer was male, egg sitter was female – I think) but now I don’t remember which booby-ish look went with which booby.
