Closed Captioned for the Hearing Impaired...

There are times throughout our birding treks that when I get home and upload the images taken for the day, there are some that are a bit of comic relief, and I can't resist trying my hand at coming up with a caption that is as fitting as the image itself. Indulge me then, if you will...each of the two captions under the photos are to read from image 1] and 2]...left to right. From top left on your computer monitor [I hope; I guess it depends on your screen resolution] pictures are as follows:  India Blue-Pied Peafowl, Reddish Egret, Great Blue Heron, Black Bellied Whistling Duck, Yellow Crowned Night Heron, Brown Pelican, Least Tern [at least I think it's a least tern], another Great Blue Heron, Snowy Egret, and the Congress-elect is a Willet.

... perhaps you can think of a better caption?!!!

1] "The grass may be greener on this side, but how do I get back over there?"

2] "Let's twist again, like we did last summer!  Let's twist again like we did last year..."

TRIVIA: All species of peafowl are believed to be polygamous.

1] "They don't call me FLASH for nuttin'!"

2] "Who needs foot floss when I can do this?"

TRIVIA: The whistling-ducks were formerly known as tree-ducks, but only a few, such as the Black-bellied Whistling-Duck actually perch or nest in trees.

1] "He said that? She did what?"

2] "Nytol works wonders!"

TRIVIA: Pelicans incubate their eggs with the skin of their feet, essentially standing on the eggs to keep them warm.

1] "Hey ma, look what I  learned in Pilates today!"

2] "Phew....next time, I must remember Beano™ before I dine."

TRIVIA: The Least Tern prefers sandy beaches for nesting, but it will use a flat gravel roof of a building.

1] "Can you see me now?"

2] "Re-elect ME for Congress!!"

TRIVIA:  Snowy Egrets sometimes mate with other heron species and produce hybrid offspring. They have been known to hybridize with Tricolored Herons, Little Blue Herons, and Cattle Egrets.
