bluebird
bluebirds are pretty obviously named and they're quite commonly found in north america. many find them to be pretty birds especially because of their singing ability but gardeners love them because they are insectivorous—i love that word. they can be omnivorous as well but their appetite for insects definitely helps the avid gardener out. so all you green green-thumbs should get friendly with these little guys. sialia sialis / mexicana / currucoides in moleskine.

blue marlin
yes, the spear that is their snout / nose is functional. as one of the fastest fish in the water, blue marlins slash their way through schools of fish and return to collect their prey right after. though they do dive into deeper waters to feed on squid and such things, they prefer warm, tropical waters. this means lots of surface-ish water swimming which also makes them more susceptible to being fished by sport fishers. it's crazy that anyone can fish for such large animals though. blue marlins get to about 14 feet in length and nearly 900 kg. they are highly prized as fishing trophies though and are becoming more endangered because of it. makaira nigricans in moleskine.
