015 - with Links!

I was at this nature preserve on Monday. There were thousands and thousands of large herons and egrets. They were pretty far away, but thankfully, the park has an observation area with a public telescope. Too bad their website sucks.

Dr. Grammar may be dead, but his website lives on. Listing common grammatical errors and how to correct them, the Dr. keeps a healthy attitude about the evolution of languages. My favorite: The subjunctive case.

posting anonymously is my SIGNATURE, man!
don't you forget it.
by the way, your websites are intrigueing me...you might like mine at teensnthings.com.
"large herons"?? I am nerdily scoffing at your lack of specificity while also being jealous.
Due to the format I've developed, I have a limited amount of space in which to write my comments. I unfortunatley, could not provide every detail about this santuary.
Luckily, I linked to a website, that has more room to specify the varied breeds of herons and egrets that you didn't see. That website also has some interesting facts about the birds. For instance, The black-crowned night heron wears white underpants.
An intesting fact that isn't on the website. These birds (surprisingly to me) roost in trees. There were so many of them shitting the place up, that they killed most of the trees. Without the living roots holding the soil together the islands started to erode. The Plainfield Park District (or somebody) built artificial trees on the islands from old railroad ties. Now a bunch of birds roost on the railroad ties.
Another interesting fact; I was looking through the telescope and exclaimed, "Whoa, there's some babies. Wait, maybe those are ducks. Yeah, those are just ducks."
