Caption, Anyone? - a photo on Flickriver

Caption, Anyone?

            Two captions come to mind when I look at this photo:  “Come on, give us a Hug!” and “Would you like to buy a watch?”  If you have any others, I’d love to hear them.  #OnThisDay, January 29, 2017, rain was trickling lightly over the wetlands of Tarangire.  What this African Openbill is actually doing, most likely, is attempting to dry its features.  Whatever the reason, this large bird is beautifully demonstrating the different wing feathers.  The flight feathers are made up of the Tertials, Secondaries and Primaries.  The smaller upper feathers are the coverts and alula.  See my archived Instagram story “Natural History” for the delineation of each section as demonstrated by a fledgling peregrine falcon.  @terifranzenphotography
