What a goofy little thing.
That goofy looking thing will fuck you up.
They have spikes on their wings and no fear.
They're not goofy in person! They are aggressive protectors of their young and scream at you at the top of their lungs (that's what this one was doing). They also swoop and divebomb people

Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.
