Derk, thank you for taking one for the team! We knew there would be one, just not sure who it would be. We owe you one!...
As Greta would say, "how dare you"...forget about her! I'm calling it an 84, but that's my own personal rating system, which is unlike what...
I'm generally not impressed with the "signed" specimens, but those are exceptional & I wouldn't mind having them myself. Nicely done!
Ironically, they are going to do a series on the Booby: [IMG] They are large tropical seabirds. Closely related to Gannets, there are several...
