Herald Staff Report
Durango Herald Facebook reader Derek Ryter submitted this week’s winning Caption This! headline: “So I tell her, ‘Seriously, I love black-headed grosbeaks, but I’m an evening grosbeak. See the yellow stripe? Right here!” And I’m trying to point to it but I don’t have fingers, so I say, ‘It’s right above my grosbeak. It’s yellow. The black-headed grosbeaks have a black one, which is fine – we’re all fine – I’m okay, you’re okay. But really, I’m an evening grosbeak ... Could we get together later for some seeds and coffee?’ And she hears some chirping and just flies away.”
“Cray, man ...”
The second-place caption was, “Chic’s lunch” from reader Lisa J. Laughlin.
This week’s photo was sent by Joyce Rundhaug, who took a picture of some evening grosbeaks as they ate birdseed on her deck railing.
A photo for next week’s Caption This! will be posted Wednesday morning to the The Durango Herald Facebook page: www.facebook.com/thedurangoherald. Check it out, comment a funny caption and the best one will be featured in the newspaper the next Monday.
