The Cloaca And A Lesson In Bird “Poop”
Since you’re reading this you’re probably a birder, bird photographer or nature lover and have seen your share of “pooping” birds.
Eureka! Western Grebes Really Do Have Wings
The fully extended wings of Western Grebes are rarely seen by humans for several reasons:
