Maybe <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=eat+fourteen+times+their+body+weight" rel="nofollow">hummingbirds</a> was what you had in mind?<br /><br />Glad the new CAPTCHA is less onerous. I think I've seen the one you're talking about on other blogs (I don't see one when I', logged into my own blog), and yes, I agree: it's easier. For humans, at least.bjkeefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967912817595826059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662517.post-65442688050009596812014-08-19T15:30:51.135-04:002014-08-19T15:30:51.135-04:00I can't remember where I read that, but I did ...I can't remember where I read that, but I did an internet search as you did and discovered that there are 40 species of cormorant. I've never seen one 3 feet tall. The ones around here are about a foot tall. I also thought they fish and eat all day rather just in the morning as the citation you quoted says. That may only apply to the double crested ones that the article was talking about. Who knows it may just be BS. BTW I like the new anti-robot test better than the squiggly letters.TCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662517.post-81943076332096655522014-08-18T12:12:56.228-04:002014-08-18T12:12:56.228-04:00I did not know that.
