b) Today's Offering (Nov 2, 2024):

poetry lyrics:/ Confused with the shag in days formerant/ Sheila's known
 as a double-crest(ed) cormorant/ Flocks soar goose-like in 'V's;/ Acid feces kill trees,/
 They dive deeply with ease,/ Then dry wings in the breeze,/ When she joins
 giant roosts as a swarmerant.






Many  thanks to 'Josh' for he loan of his excellent photo of a cormorant drying her wings along a British canal.
