Photos on this blog

All the photos on this blog, unless otherwise noted, were taken by Laura Erickson. She's okay as far as people go but, if you can believe this, she's never had a single one of us sign a release form, much less paid us for modeling! Talk about presumptuous!

We birds on Twin Beaks would love to see "the Dr. Ruth of Ornithology" teach Stephen Colbert how to explain about the birds and the bees to his son Stephen Jr. before the poor Bald Eagle has to pick up the facts of life on the streets. Tell the Colbert Report that they should have Laura Erickson on!
