I hope you all are watching LIFE on the discovery channel. Sundays starting at 8 est.
Last night was Birds and Deep Sea. Just amazing things on this planet.
I really enjoyed seeing the many birds of paradise and the antics they come up with to attract a female. All that hoopla cracks me up!
Grebes are so beautiful and the ballet they do to show how much they like their mate is extraordinary....
Some of my favorite birds are penguins. You have to admire the penguin. What they go though to have chicks and to care for them. It amazes me how committed they are.
Chinstrap penguins live on top of a volcano in Antarctica..I know, weird huh? They must travel up to 50 miles a day to get food for their chicks.
And the bearded vulture that eats animal bones.
He is one of the most beautiful birds I have ever seen! They have a 10 foot wing span. Very impressive.
They must first fly high in the air with a bone and drop it on rocks to break it up into small enough pieces!! Their stomach acid is caustic enough to dissolve the bone and then the body can use the bone marrow.
