These Tui are quite remarkable -- their "songs" very diverse!

What I liked in the rainforest was that peculiar metallic, echoing bell-like sound that repeats and repeats, like a punctuation mark. But what amazes me in the mimicking ones is that low, rough, very human and very un-parrotlike voice.

very beautiful, lyrical image. They're awfully pretty before they run up and bite your ass, aren't they?

T is for
T
ern, in this case, Royal Terns. We took both photos in Florida in winter. In the first photo, a single Royal Tern is fraternizing with some Laughing Gulls, and the second photo just shows a whole batch of Royal Terns.

T is for Tooken! I woke up and all the T's were Tooken!
Question:2 of my roommates are debating this question. The
sentance
used was " I have
tooken
many college courses". I just wanted the debate to end, so I can study again.
(Wow, this is a real question)
Answers:
If your roommates are native English speakers and seriously can't figure this out, they don't deserve to be in college.
OK, I'll be serious now, T is for Toucan, sounds like Tooken:
The colorful, giant bill, which in some large species measure more than half the length of the body, is the hallmark of toucans. Despite its size it is very light, being composed of bone struts filled with spongy tissue of keratin[1] between them. The bill has forward-facing serrations resembling teeth, which historically led naturalists to believe that toucans captured fish and were primarily carnivorous; today it is known that they eat mostly fruit.

Yikes! What the h*ll is that peculiar creature?
I finally found out from the The Society for the Preservation of Raptors (Inc.): Western Australia
"Tawny Frogmouths are often mistaken for Southern Boobooks [well, gee! That was my problem!!], but are not owls. Frogmouths are members of the nightjar family, and are more closely related to kookaburras and kingfishers than to owls."
And their call? Why "Oom-oom-oom-oom-oom-oom.", of course!
Isn't that something!! Well, thanks Dale, for introducing us to yet another creature, which shows the fun Mother Nature has!! Of course, the Tawny Frogmouths might well have the same opinion of humans!!

Tern, Arctic Tern
The Arctic Tern makes the world's longest migration as it flies between summers in the Arctic and Antarctia, a distance of 45,000 miles. This photograph was made in Tracy Arm, Alaska of a berg calved from the Sayer Glacier.

Tundra Swans
Tundra swans are again plentiful after population plunges in the early 20th century. They breed on tundra in Alaska and Canada. The two migration routes are roughly down the mountain states and then west to northern California and down the Mississippi Flyway. In the latter case, the birds congregate in the back waters of the Mississippi in the general area where Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa meet. For years, I have timed my fall visits to Wisconsin to see them at Riekes Pond at Alma. WI. There, they feed on arrowroot. They linger until freeze up and depart en masse to the Chesapeake Bay area. These photos are from there.
