My birding group thinks it lacks the strength and means to go very
far, so we assume the species is not migratory and is localized to the
State of Maryland. *Except of course when a member of the species
parasitically hitches a ride on the back of another bird to, say ...
California. *The species is known for trying to attract attention to
itself, but yes, like a chicken, runs for cover and also engages in
camaflage when it senses confrontation.

This is funny as hell. *Betcha even Harry is laughing.

If he isn't laughing, he doesn't have any sense of humor.

This new poster is too funny. I'll give him a 10 for style, grace, and
execution. And when Harry parrys, it is usually only a weak thrust. This
makes the attack even funnier.

Too bad Reggie isn't here. ;-) He'd get a big kick out of it.- Hide quoted text -

I consulted a noted authority on the species who said the bird has a
disproportionally large larnyx which allows it to squawk loudly and
constantly, until it senses danger, at which times, it flies into the
nearest briar patch until it is safe to resume squawking.
