"In this photo documentary, you can see the giant pink-feathered falcon of Panama, eyeing its prey, ready to pick at a tasty container morsel of its liking. Shippers around the world fear this enormous bird, as it can consume 10 times its weight, which equates to about 100 containers, just in one sitting. Watch out when it poops"

Remember hearing the term, but had to look it up. Pink Falcon: def. "Woman who will screw over her peers to achive her short sighted goals." Think I'll re-forget the term in the interests of self preservation. | |

Very nice shot.
I might need to watch out for that bird if I go out cruising in Panama.
