Some people have trouble imagining what scientists have in recent decades demonstrated via China fossils to be true: that birds are the descendants of dinosaurs.
Not me and J.D. at Mouth of the Brazos, who watched a Texas Mockingbird in action:
“The way the bird landed and hopped, using its wings and tail for balance, after the lizard (which had no chance at all) made me think of dinosaurs. It is hard to NOT believe that birds are closely related to them.”
Especially the big ones, like Mexican Grackles and Blue Jays. I still wonder about hummingbirds, though.
