They're very interesting. One particularly interesting thing about them is they eat nearly all the time--at least the ones here on the farm do.

Now, with all that beating of wings and all that eating and all that heart pumping (ovet 1000 beats a minute...maybe even 1450 or so), how in Sam's hill do they make it down South in the winter? My Aunt Faye used to say they hitched a ride on the backs on geese, but I dunno...
