Here is a magnificent cock for your enjoyment. A chicken is an unusual post for me. These guys have been running wild in Hawaii since a 1982 hurricane set them free, but a study of chicken genealogy puts Hawaiian chickens on the islands much farther back. The first people on Hawaii were Polynesians, who embarked on epic ocean voyages to these tiny islands in the vast expanse of the Pacific. They arrived at Hawaii with their chickens at least 800 years ago. Today’s birds share genetic links to these early invaders.

Here is a California Towhee. These guys followed me around the @sfbotanicalgarden while I was photographing hummingbirds. I took a couple of snaps of them.
