Project V Day Twenty Four: Sweetgum Fruit

This is totally a dried Sweetgum fruit. You know how I know? Cuz today I bought Trees: A simplified field guide to the trees of North America by Peterson First Guides. It was $2.48. Sure...it was printed in 1993 but how much can trees change in 20 years?

Sweetgum fruit #1: "Hey, your prickles are nice."

Sweetgum fruit #2: "I know. So are yours."

Day 7: Roseate Spoonbill, 12x9"

Roseate Spoonbill, you are one interesting looking dude. Their deep pink coloring is similar to a flamingo. They use their unusual beak to feed on crustaceans by swinging it from side to side as it steadily walks through the water.

Project IV Day 18: Turkey Vulture (again)

Project IV Day 25: Hoatzin Nestling

Yes, this guy does indeed exist. He is a Hoatzin nestling. One thing you should know about these birds is that they are born with two claws on each wing. They are clumsy in flight and use these claws to climb about in their native swamps of Venezuela and Guyana. Once they reach adulthood, they those their claws. Dinosaur times-style.
