This migrating warbler flew over our boat and sat on the water. When we moved closer to it to "rescue" it and bring it onboard it took flight and headed away.

The pelican was hoping to steal a fish from the Osprey, but I think the Osprey missed the fish.

This partially leucistic singing male Red-winged Blackbird certainly caught my eye! Note also the pale bill tip and feet.

Red-winged Blackbird
near Stewardson, Illinois
1 June 1989
I'm posting this record just for the general interest of a Red-winged Blackbird with one white wing. Whether a partial albino, or a partial leucistic bird, I'm not sure. A local farmer told my wife and me that this bird had been on his farm for three summers. The bird left in the fall with the other Red-wingeds and came back in the spring. I watched it for about 30 minutes. It vocalized like any other Red-winged BB and interacted with other Red-wingeds normally. It was pretty flashy to see in flight, however. Three shots posted. These images scanned from old color slides.

I hope not to offend anyone with an image of the funeral a few of us held for this bird when we were teenagers with a knack for absurdism.

in the absence of a trunk or stone to lean on, a capybara may be an option;
I have observed these two individuals do this twice;
