I learned some interesting facts today. First, the lammergeier is a bird that has a wingspan of 10 feet. Wow!! Talk about a big bird. And it can soar for miles!!!

`

Second, there are these white pelicans who normally eat fish, but since their habitat has been overfished, they have found a new source of food....baby chicks from a nearby (30 miles) nest. I was taken aback. It seems so evil, but thus is the way of life. 

And one more tidbit - a bowerbird builds a bower for his mate. It is so cool!! He builds a hut from sticks and decorates the inside with all sorts of different stuff he can find. The more interesting the stuff, the more likely the female will choose him. Cheers to the bowerbird - cleaning and decorating the house to impress his lady!!

In case you are wondering, dear readers, I learned all of this from the Life series, narrated by Oprah Winfrey. You should check it out. Great series. I would recommend it. Along with Planet Earth. Definitely.
