Growing up in Kentucky it was common to see Robins, Blue Jays, Cardinals, and dozens of other types of birds that I never learned to identify. In Florida, of course, there are many that I still think of as exotic — pelicans, herons, egrets, and others for example. Even though I live near a lake*, this morning was the first time I’ve seen one of these in my front yard.

*It’s pretty hard to live anywhere in Florida that is not near a lake. Every puddle that doesn’t dry up in a week gets a name and has the roads detoured around it.

Here in NJ we just get ass backwards birds that forget they know how to fly.
Loved your comment on the education post btw. SO TRUE!
