The Adam Ant Bird

06 Aug 2008

This is a male magpie lark. The female looks very similar, but she has a solid white stripe that goes behind her eye, while the male has this horizontal eye-line through the white. And how do I remember this? Adam Ant. Seriously, I think of Adam Ant! Remember him? He had eye stripes (which I always thought was a bit indian-like - teepee indian, not the other kind) so I see the magpie lark, check for the eye stripe and connect that with the memory of Adam Ant so I can remember which sex bird has what. Call me crazy, but it works damit!
