  10. Bull flinch: I think the bull flinch is a creepy bird because its beak looks like it has a hump on it. The hump reminds me of a Carmel's back. It looks like it has lots of colors such as black, gray, and orange. It's feathers look very thin. They look very small, narrow. I wonder what it eats.

  11. The bird that caught my eye was the Mating Black-tailed Godwits. The bird caught my eye because you don't see birds mating every day. The thing I also noticed was that they have very long beaks. The kind of bird goes on other birds backs and then they mate. At least that's what I think. That's all for now folks. BYE!

  13. The bird I discovered is called the skua. It The skua is a bird that looks like a mix between a hawk and a seagull. It's head reminds me of the hawks I see on the side of the road. With it's sharp beak, I bet it can catch food like a hawk. It's body reminds me of the seagulls at the beach, all fat and ready for french fries. The skua can attack people when they come near their nesting place, often diving at their heads, just like seagulls at the beach.

  17. This bird I found in the website and the bird is called cuckoo. Cuckoo birds reminds me of an owl, because at the bottom of the cuckoo's chest it looks like an owl's pattern. It also reminds me of a peacock, because the tail of a cuckoo bird looks like a peacock. With the small feet the cuckoo has, it looks like it can scared their enemies. Also, with the beak the bird has, I bet it can catch food very quickly.
