Today's weird bird, the red-crested turaco. Their mouths are not completely "beaked" (They are partially covered by skin and feathers!)
They are not the only bird species with this feature, but it's pretty visible on them.

Once again, a MASSIVE thank you to my followers who are not random bots. I present you with a small art dump.
Also, the dagger is available for the taking. It was for a contest but didn't win. First come, first served.

Today is apparently ANGRY STABBY BIRB DAY.
I was taking a walk on the boardwalk out near Bolstadt in Long Beach, when I came across this western grebe (Aechmophorus occidentalis) stranded on the path ahead of me. It looked alert and uninjured, so chances were just that it couldn't take flight off of the hard surface, but I called Peninsula Wild Care anyway to see if they wanted to bring it in for a checkup.
They quickly coordinated a couple of volunteers to meet me nearby, and I needed to get the grebe out of the way since a lot of people walk their dogs there and not all of them are on leashes. I figured okay, this is a relatively small bird, not as big as the muscovies I've carted around on the farm, and it seems calm, right?
NOPE. As I tried to gently reach for the grebe it turned from a calm, if confused pile of feathers on the decking to Stabby McStabberson, and I very nearly got jabbed and nipped a few times by a long, pointy beak attached to a surprisingly agile and very much NOT happy bird. I ended up having to take my hoodie off and dropping it over the entire grebe, and only when the lights were out could I bundle it up and carry it over to the meeting place.
Since it was pretty energetic, not obviously sick or injured, and its body condition felt decent (at least through the hoodie) I'm hoping it's going to get released soon enough after a checkup and a nice meal of fish. Many waterbirds have a lot of trouble taking off from hard surfaces because their feet are so far back on their bodies--which is great for swimming and water takeoffs, but not so helpful on land. If the bird had stayed stranded there they could have been injured or killed by another animal, or ended up dehydrated.
So let's hear it for Stabby the Angry Grebe, and wish them a good release back into the wild!

Death Stare- Dino Doodles
I think crow-like beady eyes on dinosaurs are criminally underused.
Also hooded crows are underappreciated.
This was supposed to be a "scary feathered dinosaurs" piece but turned out cute.
