What's That Sonny?
You'll have to speak up, I'm hard of hearing.
Birds of course do have ears and excellent hearing, they just aren't easily visible on most species outside of the owl family. |

Showoff
The most famous bird to be named after a volleyball, Wilson’s snipes should not be confused with Wesley’s snipes, which don’t exist.
Look them up in a bird guide and, depending on the age of the book, you may see them listed as common snipe instead of Wilson’s. They had been considered a race of the common snipe of Eurasia but are now considered a separate species. The birds themselves don’t seem to have noticed. |
