Greetings everyone from the Midwest Tundra. In the midst of some bitter cold, sleet and snow at the moment in direct defiance of Never Colder’s who are still crying from the loss of their precious hockey stick graph. Don’t you hate it when the data doesn’t align to the narrative. Speaking of crying, anyone see the last press conference by Bumbles this week. Let’s see, it is the press’s fault, no wait, it is the talk radio pundit’s fault, nooooo I remember now, it was the Ruskies fault for exposing a rigged DNC nomination process, collusion with the mainstream media, forcing CNN to give Hillary pre-debate questions and for brainwashing the Hillary election committee to ignore fly over country – the sneaky bastards even hijacked Hildebeast’s speech and stuck the word deplorables in it. Them be some sneaky cold war enemies. Tell you what, let’s throw in some Bush blame and just give it to Hillary – that way, everyone will be happy. I couldn’t write better comedy if I tried.
How about we move to a count that can’t be debated. My North American Bird Life List count has been incremented by one thanks to this lonely specimen.
Truth be told, I am jumping the gun just a bit here since my validator has yet to respond to my identification request. Fortunately, this particular waterbird is pretty easy to identify. Here’s a better angle that gives a good view of the key feature they are named for.
Hit the jump to see a few more pictures of this intriguing water bird.
