For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: articulate.
Oooooh, I love to watch otters, bend and turn, all those beautiful articulated spinal bones and the swimmer muscles that can bend and turn the bones.

stretch your wings
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: stretch.
The bufflehead males are so dramatic when they stretch their wings! All that flash of dramatic coloring and he looks three times as big! I caught this hiking with my daughter last week.
Here is more information about bufflehead ducks.
small fool
For the Daily Prompt: fool.
Happy April Fool’s! I don’t think this little bushtit is a fool. The expression is foolish or distracted but the bird is not foolish. It is wisely having a delicious breakfast in my yard.
Anyone can be captured with a foolish expression or in a foolish moment. Me, too! I love being silly and foolish with my kids and dear friends. My daughter says she can tell when I will be goofy before I say anything, just by my expression.
kite shapes
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: kite.
The bluffs have small slow slides, trickles of sand coming down, and then larger slides too. The large collapses are complete with trees that come down. The edge of the bluff in this part is full of partial kite shapes.

no weasels
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: weasel.
I don’t have a weasel. I haven’t caught a weasel with my camera. There is a dearth of local weasels. Here is an eagle instead.

coot
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: jet.
I am going to use the meaning of the color jet: jet black. The color is from jet, lignite used in jewelry. Lignite is a precurser to coal. I have a necklace of jet beads from my great aunt.
This coot is jet black in the sun and against the water. Coots look self-contained to me, shyer than the ducks. They look down in the water and make noises to them selves, not like the insistent mallards. They move a little bit robotically. The neurological wiring seems more primitive than the ducks.
