The Cornell Lab of Ornithology recently redesigned their public outreach site (includes an online guide): http://www.allaboutbirds.org |
You should see this herd of javelina (about 15-20) that come running when my wife goes out with several loaves of bread. She calls them her "little babies". Now these guys can weigh 90 lbs with razor sharp tusks. I'll have to post a pic I have of her standing out in the middle of them.
And thanks for that Cornell Lab link--that's a good one.
