Aptly-named Sailwing Gulls are an unusually flightless species in Family Laridae. Thanks to heavily-specialized feet which act as hydrofoils, these marine-bound seabirds are capable of speeds upwards of 25 knots with a good tailwind. To increase maneuverability the feet can be stowed, allowing a Sailwing Gull to act as a traditional sailing vessel in hunting waters.

Couch’s Kingbirds can be found lording themselves over other birds from southern Texas all the way along the Gulf Coast to Yucatan, Belize, and parts of Guatemala. These pompous passerines are predictably members of the Tyrant family, as evidenced by their disdain for birds of lower social status and tendency to issue punitive edicts in response to unrest. Currently they are mortal enemies with Hooded Warblers, who are rumoured to be exiled cousins seeking revenge and liberation.
