Portrait in Blue, Snow Goose, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, San Antonio NM, February 4, 2010
Here's a closer crop of the Snow Goose picture I put up yesterday
This picture is one of a sequence of 24 shots of this Snow Goose swimming to shore and climbing the bank. Sorting through that February evening's shoot I was set to toss the whole bunch but zoomed in to full size on a few first and found I had something pretty good on a couple of them with some major cropping.
I have a still closer zoom of this picture I'll put up tomorrow.

Alex Can Think
Animal researchers are finally beginning to catch up to the little old ladies in tennis shoes who say Fifi the poodle can think. The fights are always between a big group of experts who think animals don't have a lot of feelings or aren't very smart, and a much smaller group of researchers who think there's a lot more going on inside an animal's head than we know. The really nasty fights always seem to go one way: it's always the animal "debunkers" who are on the attack. At least, I don't remember a single big academic fight where someone got fired or lost their funding for doing a study where the animal turned out to be dumber than people thought, and lots of studies like that have been done. Claiming that an animal can't do something isn't considered blasphemous.
