As a pen turner you soon learn that turing a nice pen is only half the battle. You learn you also need to take a good picture of said nice pen. One of the members here has been especially helpful with the the photography side of penturning, writing several helpful threads on composition, perspective, ISO setting, white balance, and several others. He even let us know when a decent camera went on sale. Not too long ago he posted some bird pictures from a trip he took. The question for today is

In his post what name did he say the locals gave to the roseatte spoonbill that was pictured?

You know if there was a bird call the DOliver, the eagle would be so mad, which is understandable. I'd be mad if I lost my spot on the flag too!
 
I thought it was really cool.. Penturner.. seems the bird kept pecking on the wood.. and the locals would pick up the wood and it was perfectly round.. they just had to drill a hole in it and they had a pen!

Nicknamed the "DOliver", the "Raving Loon" (Gavia trivialus) is native to South Dakota marshes. The raving loon nests in wood shavings, eats beef jerky, and can be identified by it's distinctive stare, gestures, and relentless call of "trivia! trivia! trivia!". The DOliver is widely considered a varmint and is one of few birds that the Federal Wildlife Commission encourages people to shoot on sight. Be very wary of the DOliver during mating season (the month of February). It is nearly impossible to restrain and has been known to stalk its prey over the internet. Fortunately, its migratory range is small, so for most people, the chance of an actual sighting is about the same as spotting BigFoot.

I feel like such a stalker after all these "find the post by the member" questions. Although it has helped me catch up on the happenings of the site!
