These black skimmers are such comical looking birds. They have such short legs. Here it seems they were either courting or having some kind of a tiff. I'm not sure which!
This Ruby-throated Hummingbird spends a good part of the day perched in a tree where he has a clear view of his "domain". When he's not perched or feeding, he spends his time chasing away birds of all sizes - it's actually pretty comical to watch.
Puffins are unmistakable birds with their black back and white underparts, distinctive black head with large pale cheeks and their tall, flattened, brightly-coloured bill. Its comical appearance is heightened by its red and black eye-markings and bright orange legs. Used as a symbol for books and other items, this clown among seabirds is one of the world's favourite birds. With half of the UK population at only a few sites, it's a Red List species.
Last night's Aurora was bright, bold, and beautiful! All around us and changing by the second, I'm sure it would have been comical to watch me pivoting around my tripod with the camera pointed up, down, left, and right. Luckily, the other 60 or so people on the little beach we were on, were all doing the same thing.
As described in the previous image, the comical swagger of the Grosbeak after apparently vanquishing a Scarlet Tanager. A super weird and engaging encounter along the abandoned road that has been drawing me back for early morning hikes.
I was set up and hoping for a flight shot when this Burrowing Owl took up a comical pose that I couldn’t resist. (Athene cunicularia) (Sony a1, 200-600 lens @ 506mm, 1/3200 second, f/6.3, ISO 3200)
Every evening during the summer, Puffins come to shore in there hundreds. They are probably seeing how each others day went and where was the best place to fish.
My dinos are very curious, when I checked in the freezer and found some who had obviously been too curious about what that container of water was doing and hopped in just before I put the lid on. Luckily freezing did them no harm, and they just defrosted then spent the next hour leaping around my lounge like monkeys 😂
The destruction is as you'd expect. Luckily they are housetrained, unlike the moose.
The theme for this CrAzY Tuesday (7-Feb-2023) is 'Frozen in ice'.
May all your Tuesdays be CrAzilY HaPpY!

My daughter's cats are soooo entertaining! Here Pippin is trying to get some quiet time, but take a look at the pictures below to see what was happening before this comical ending. :D
Found this beautiful moose calf in a cemetary in Healy Alaska. This lil moose was very bold and was interested in what my wife and I were. The calf walked within 15 feet of us and just stared at us. The calf's twin and cow were both there but out of the photo.
We got to spend about 20 minutes with the three moose and enjoyed every minute of it.
The moose calves were in a playful mood towards the end. They were play fighting with each other and it was comical.
Charismatic and sometimes comical, the diminutive Burrowing Owl is an easily recognized icon of the grasslands and arid regions of western North America, Florida, and the Caribbean. Unique among North American owls, this species is active day and night, nests in underground burrows, and typically nests in small groups. Very common in Brazil.
Wishing you a Peaceful new week!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

The Origins of the meal called "Brunch" is rather comical!
The 1896 supplement to the Oxford English Dictionary cites Punch magazine, which wrote that the term was coined in Britain in 1895 to describe a Sunday meal for "Saturday-night carousers" in the writer Guy Beringer's article "Brunch: A Plea"[6] in Hunter's Weekly.[7][8]
Instead of England's early Sunday dinner, a postchurch ordeal of heavy meats and savory pies, the author wrote, why not a new meal, served around noon, that starts with tea or coffee, marmalade and other breakfast fixtures before moving along to the heavier fare
By eliminating the need to get up early on Sunday, brunch would make life brighter for Saturday-night carousers. It would promote human happiness in other ways as well.
"Brunch is cheerful, sociable and inciting", Beringer wrote. "It is talk-compelling. It puts you in a good temper, it makes you satisfied with yourself and your fellow beings, it sweeps away the worries and cobwebs of the week."
— William Grimes, "At Brunch, the More Bizarre the Better" New York Times, 1998[9]
For all you Saturday night "carousers", enjoy your brunch! :0)
Taken at Trundles Bakery, Tiny Crisp Kringle, Frogmore Christmas Region
Comically referred to by moonbase denizens as the "Wheelly-Go-Round", the G00-DG-R33F Recon Rover was not for the faint of heart and required nimble coordination between co-riders....
Rover 28 (really though, it is build 12)
This faintly comical statue under its canopy is of Charles II, who funded much of the major restoration after the ravages of the Civil War. Sculpted by Sir William Wilson (1641 - 1710), a sign also says 'This statue was placed in the principal position on the west front where it remained until the 19th century restoration'.
Brown Pelican at Armand Bayou Nature Center near Houston, Texas
The Brown Pelican is a comically elegant bird with an oversized bill, sinuous neck, and big, dark body. Squadrons glide above the surf along southern and western coasts, rising and falling in a graceful echo of the waves. They feed by plunge-diving from high up, using the force of impact to stun small fish before scooping them up. They are fairly common today—an excellent example of a species’ recovery from pesticide pollution that once placed them at the brink of extinction.
Well it was rather a comical scene, had anyone been there to witness our tentative adventures across the stones, rather like bambies on ice. What comes of getting older I presume
The small slither of orange witnessed on our arrival, slowly decided to burst out filling the clouds with a gorgeous glow, so much so that I'm struggling processing some of the later ones.
You know the ones when people think you've supped the colour dials and it's not real
As I'd previously mentioned our trip up to Northumberland was to meet up with fellow Flickr friend Skyebaggie.
I'd half expected he would be down on the rocks, way before our arrival. Sadly he had very much misjudged the time it takes to get here and had watched the colour disappearing before his eyes, on route
Not the exact comp I was after but a multitude of people arrived in the castle car park, just as the colour emerged, with rather large filming equipment (apparently filming a documentary on kayaking)
Very lucky to have a few of these in the garden, Quite comical to watch and not as bulshy as there house sparrow cousins
Link to a video of one doing their comical walk, not my video, so funny! Exactly what this one was doing.

Found this American Woodcock very slowly, methodically and comically crossing the road leading into the refuge. It would take a step, stop, sway its body back and forth, take another step and repeat over and over, taking several seconds for each step, so funny and cute! Have seen videos of them doing this but first time to actually see, made my day. Not the best quality and cropped quite a bit, but a great memory for me. :) Wish I could have taken a video. Check out the link above to see one. I'm sure others have seen these but a first for me.
Photos from a morning at Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge near Mound City, Mo. Was hoping to see tons of snow geese during the Spring migration but I think many had flown on north. Crazy windy and dusty! Still a fun morning, sorry for so many photos. :)
This poor photographer got more than he bargained for when the pelicans tried to land on him!!! It was quite comical to watch, though!! I took this in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Pacific Baza and its 1001 faces. I find these birds quite comical in their many expressions from "whoops" to "regal" to "Ugh, again greens for dinner" ... It was huge fun to watch and I hope to see more of that species soon.
This was the first time for me seeing the Pacific Baza and of that day, that definitely was my favourite character to watch!

We arrived predawn in bitterly cold conditions, minus 8 from memory, luckily Mike had already scouted the Tewet Tarn area and so we could head speedily towards this higher ground just below LOW RIGG and above TEWET TARN. This afforded an excellent vantage point looking towards either Saddleback, the Skiddaw range or in this case the North Western Fells, dominated by what I think is Grisedale Pike. Technically this is the tail end of the Blue Hour, and it resulted in some gorgeous pink hue's before the sun made an eventual appearance above Great Dodd. It was comical as we both were sprinting back and forth to try and get the best POV, making the most of this brief encounter with such light, a fantastic full day in the Lakes with great company.
This nest of wooden cats was handmade. I bought it years ago from a craftsman in a Cambridge market. It always makes me smile.
Rascal of the bush, Comical, noisey, nosey and just good company.
Sadly like most natives drastically reduced in range to the point where only carefully managed and protected areas contain them today.
The wonderful, comical and beautiful Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) here photographed with a haul of sand-eels on the superb Isle of May off the East Coast of Scotland.
It’s a lively afternoon in the overlook, where sunlight filters through the pine trees to reveal a retro wonderland. Brightly colored artworks, groovy music, and fun games set the stage for an unforgettable bash. But just as the resident puppies are getting their groove on, a band of mischievous skunks bursts onto the scene, turning the party into a comical chaos. It’s pure whimsy and bedlam at the overlook — just another brick in the wall of this quirky paradise!

This has to be one of the most fun portraits I have done in years. All the baristas at Thomas Hammer spoil me. Thank you Abby for always making my day fun, may God always Bless you.
This is a helmeted guineafowl.
Because of his helmet, he looks like an ancient Greek warrior.
With his long lashes and bright colors, it also has something comical.
Species in conflict # 7
This mated pair of Red-necked Grebes was looking for a suitable place to build their nest in a mature man-made lake in Edmonton. They seemed to think that the anchored platform often used by Ducks, Geese, Cormorants, and Pelicans for rest and preening would be ideal.
The Canada Goose wasn’t so sure. I was surprised that it gave way after the Grebes just stood there looking at it for a few minutes. I didn’t know that they could stand upright like that. It was odd to see, and made me laugh. The Grebes did not attempt to build a nest there. There were too many large birds coming and going all day.
Red-necked Grebes vigorously defend their nest sites, often launching submarine attacks against any waterfowl that ventures too close.
