Horned Grebe at the Celery Farm
My first ever here. And the spring arrivals are arriving! The grebe was No. 186 on my Celery Farm life…
In advance of my Bird Watcher column about feathers yesterday, I asked who can identify the feathers on the dust jacket of this rare book.
The answer, from renowned feather expert Pepper Tail, is that the feathers on the James Bond book "are fanciful. Perhaps from unknown species in Goldfinger's diabolical aviary, but not from birds known to science."
