That sound weird to me.

Crows tend to ignore me, even when I am outside. [:D]
American crows are more paranoid than European ones! You do know how well-armed US citizens are ...


Backtrack...

African or European Swallows ?

Aren't African Swallows non-migratory?[:)]

Here's a Sharp-shinned hawk about to take off from my maple tree. Wish the shot had been a tenth of a second later so the wings were spread.

You know, where Orm is from, contrary to what you might think, they have only one fjord. However, they can lord it all over the Finns, who have none.

The Finns need this guy. Not having a coast is no excuse.

I am not sure that this is correct. Although I do know what we call a fjord might not actually be one in a geological sense.

Here is a picture of what I think is a geological fjord, and I am pretty sure that it isn't the one that you are referring to as the one we have.

Why are you reading up on fjords? Planning on visit some of them?

That looks like the Saguenay River in Québec, Canada. One of the parks people there claimed it is one of the few true fjords in North America.

I spent some time trying to visit each of the waterfalls and introducing myself to all of the slugs.
