PS I love your avatar - a burrowing owl who is likewise beautifully camouflaged. In this case, to look like just another thoroughly indigestible rock.
Well done, owl genies! Or faeries. Whatever. Well done!

Glad you enjoyed it! I had the same reaction when I saw the photo. The innate intelligence of nature & natural selection is amazing. It always fills me with wonder and gratitude for the privilege of living on this incredible planet called Earth.
These little chicks sport plumage that mimics a pine cone.
After all, what idiot would want to swallow a pine cone for dinner?
Smart. Very smart.
