Lucky me, I just got a shot of the rare Southern Imposter Bird. I've only seen one other, it took on the shape of a racoon but I didn't have my camera
with me. I suppose, in the photo below, the bird hopes to lure in juvenile bobcats but the call was a dead give-a-way to me. Any of you out there that
doubt the authenticity of the photo, ask yourself why or how that thing got up there.

I doubt that is a cardon, looks like a Saguaro, which are not found in your neck of the woods, but maybe in the long necks you be drinking? Osprey - 4-17-2011 at 03:43 PM
You have a good eye. That's the famous Imposter Cactus of Baja Sur.Marc - 4-17-2011 at 07:04 PM
Or Photoshop??GordoyFeo - 4-18-2011 at 06:37 AM
Lurking here I have learned fiction is your forte and truth not so much.
More importantly have also learned you are a good sport about it all.
That photo and variations of it have made the rounds of the desert flora and fauna websites for quite some time.
How about a realtime photo of the new marina progress?Osprey - 4-18-2011 at 06:58 AM
They won't let cameras anywhere close to the project. Google Earth is almost real time for this area and you can see the canals forming -- they are
filled with water but it's not from the sea as the main channel opening between the jetties is not yet open to let the sea water in. 100% of the work
being done now is well to the west of my house -- they will showcase that area first and if and when they can finish, my eastern end will be last.Osprey - 4-18-2011 at 09:05 AM
I think you are mocking me with your handle, Gordoyfeo but you are right about truth telling. I have to post a disclaimer every few months about truth
vs other than truth.
When I was younger I used to lie so much that my friends caught me telling the truth and I lied my way out of it.Skipjack Joe - 4-18-2011 at 09:19 AM
It got up there the same way this one did back in 1953
