The Unfairness of Beauty Bestowed.....

Nature is mysterious.

Nature is amazing.

Nature provides so many contrasts in the animal and bird world.

Nature, therefore can be very unfair.


Look at this eagle's nest on display at a nature museum:

Wowsa.

No small bird lives THERE!

It is a beautiful eagle's nest.

Here is a HUGE nest I saw last week in the middle of a pond. It may be an eagle's nest, I am not sure:

But the point is......it is from a huge, beautiful bird, no doubt.

Here is another beautiful bird on display at the same nature museum.

It is a beautiful pileated woodpecker.

Isnt' be gorgeous?

But, nature has a sense of humor.

Not all birds are created equal in size, .....or beauty.

Look what I saw two weeks ago in the trees!:

A turkey vulture!

He is not the most handsome bird in nature's choice of birds.....


There were actually SIX of these in the trees that day, but I could only capture 2 or 3 on camera.

Besides, I was getting scared. They really are mean looking birds.....

So, if I had the choice...............
and
nature asked me which bird I would want to be????




How about THESE?????:

Oh yes.

This is a mama swan with two little ones wayyyyy back in the pond in the woods.
It was in a wilderness area with no way to get closer to them....
but, aren't they beautiful????

Nature can be cruel.

Just ask those vultures..................................
