And the Birdlife Bird of the Year winner is…

Tawny Frogmouth

About time in my opinion, although in my portrait of him he looks shocked that she has been chosen… she probably didn’t even write a speech or anything

A Bald Eagle takes off from the Great Blue Heron rookery. Lots of ducks show up around the rookery this time of year, which encourages the Bald Eagles to hang out in the area.

A'ight—I think we have to get the band back together, because this cannot stand. We (politely) mobbed @merriam-webster.com into adding "pube"; surely we can do it again for "dookie."

Daily bunny no.3109's seafaring days are behind him

A bunny, dressed like a sea captain, smokes a pipe as he sits on the roof of his tavern in a town by the sea. The tavern is called "The Birb & Bun", and there are a few seagulls on the roof with him, relaxing. At the entrance to the tavern, younger sailor bunnies are on shore leave.
