What's your favorite bird?

[AnthonyH]

That's really cool, my favorite has to be the Hoatzin, they're born with claws at their wingtips to help them climb in the branches, then the claws molt when they're able to fly

I'm not sure if this will work, it says it's an attachment, so I'll cross my fingers

The great horned owl. I saw one swoop down and take a rabbit once, less than ten yards away from me, it was very sudden and startling but awesome (in the original, literal, sense of the word).

Nothing will raise the hairs on the back of my neck (in a good way) quite like the crepuscular call of the Eastern Whippoorwill.

Crepuscular is one of my favorite words. I wish I could work it into casual conversation.

Wren

When they're sitting they sometime look like little round balls with tiny wings and bring to mind bumblebees, because you wonder how they can ever manage to fly.
