Shudder at These Spooky Birds | Oct 2016

Spooky Birds

Be afraid. Be very afraid.


Spooky Birds are out there, everywhere.

Here’s what to watch for this Halloween.

Stay away from water.

This creepy monster surfaces silently. Then it’s over. Suddenly.

Note: Before you complain about the quality of this photo, ask yourself: Have you ever seen a crisp, clear photo of the Loch Ness Monster?

Of course not.

That’s because photos of this monster are supposed to be blurry.

Gee whiz.


Nevermore

Common Raven

One word tells it all: “Nevermore.”

After that, there’s nothing left to say.

Unless you want to argue with a raven.

Black-necked Stilt

This spooky bird has helped sell more pairs of glasses than any fuzzy eye chart.

Is it real? Or is it a reflection of something lurking in your mind?

Only your optician knows for sure.

Finally, after an extensive search that covered six states, this monster is behind bars.

For now.


Who Goes There?

Great Horned Owl

Even after you answered, you keep hearing the same question: “Who? Who? Who?”

It’s enough to make you wonder if you really know who you are.

Is that a spooky bird or is it a spooky bird?


Have a safe and enjoyable Halloween,

Help Birds Tip

Give Books for Halloween Treats

Why: Books are Earth friendly, Mind friendly, and Tooth friendly.

How: Buy books at your local library in their used book store or from an organization that sells used books.

Bonus Benefit: Used books can cost less than candy bars.


Did You Know?

The most effective way to help birds is to buy land.

Here are three organizations that excel at doing this.

1) American Bird Conservancy

2) The Nature Conservancy

3) The Trust for Public Land

Please visit their web sites to learn about the work they do.

Here’s an excellent book: The American Bird Conservancy Guide to Bird Conservation

    You got me! I must tell you that I had to find an image of a black-necked stilt in my Sibley’s to confirm the shape of its beak. Then I saw the reflections – great shot!
