Why is he on the UW marching bank practice field.
Meade, not the crane... is he taking classes?

Why must you harass the wildlife?
Read a book about wildlife photography... thet are not supposed to be disturbed or know the camera is there.

Thank God you guys stay out of the national parks and dont travel...

Is John still contributing to the Cornell alum fund? *wink*

Aggie said...

He's walkin' like Denny Crane.

I know that bird is not heavy, but still, how do those toothpick for legs support him, her, they?

The next thing Trump should do is ban dual citizenship. Pick one. The dualees will hate that.

Bring your lunchables to the boat launch.

Don't feed the birds.

that is one healthy, well fed bird. Looks like he/she is as big as an ostrich.

Look at the bird’s color. Clearly a spy for Michigan!

…any one remember that pith helmet guy with the emu tucked under his arm on The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show? That crane is like that…

The bird is doing remote work for Mike Leckrone.
Gotta keep an eye on things...

What does Meade have in common with Mike Leckrone? Think of high school basketball and a movie, and you've got it.

Fascinating, mezzrow! I did not know that. Thanks!
