Description
Nordanner RNG Mini Show - Round 55
Theme - Birdwatching
Panel 2
A4932 Remuda's Break This Bleeding Heart
Trainer: Ulysses Roanhorse
Panel 3
Trainer: Shirobe
Much to Heart's relief they don't see a single snake and enough birds to make the outing worthwhile. Shirobe meanwhile is having a great time counting up the nesting marsh-birds and looking for scaled creatures.
Tanaris: "I'm a desert-bred horse, you remember." 
Shirobe: "Aye, but a little water is good for your hoofs!" 
Bonus: +5 kaaring OR STP to each Nordanner pictured if you include a nest in your entry.

It was far western Tennessee almost at the Mississippi; my money's on a copperhead since they do that warning thing with their tail tip. I didn't stay around to check, even though it was next to my grandfather's house and medical practice. I still have a cypress knob lamp above my computer that he made for me.
Shirobe might give me a start, too.
Are the red and orange birds a real species?

Didn't know copperheads would buzz, but just about any snake that does is worth avoiding/not irritating... unless you're Shirobe. She's a Darkspear Troll and they all LOVE reptiles and dinosaurs. The bigger, the better. Her people ride raptors and keep them as hunting companions. They also keep snakes for pets like we keep cats and dogs. She's 7 feet tall, but a very good sort, being a priest by trade.
Ooo, a cypress knob lamp! That's so cool! I've got a maple that is growing a burl. We had to cut down a tree in our yard back east that had a big burl and we were able to find a woodworker to take it - he was so thrilled.
We've got red-winged blackbirds here along the river, they just don't have a topknot like these birds.

Marshes do tend to be busy with many kinds of wildlife. I have a childhood memory of a cypress swamp and the buzzy snake-in-the-bushes I almost met. I'm sure the horses are enjoying their preferred choice.

A buzzy snake in a cypress swamp? Seems to wet for rattler's preferred habitat, but you never know. My brother and his young friend annoyed a copperhead into chasing them out of our local swamp in Delaware.
