Yes, Captain.

Earl might need to go to the optometrist for a new eyeglasses prescription.

Raptors in boxer shorts? XD

A boy in our high school was a bit weird and naive and was always being teased. He had a crush on a girl and one of the guys asked him where he would like to kiss her. He said “under the underpass” but from then on the guys kidded him about wanting to kiss her under the underpants.

About once a year.

Underpants are worn over the underparts so, technically, you’re right, Earl.

Did Cooper forget to wear his underwear again?

Or maybe Cooper just wanted to go commando today.

Earl, you might try using the binoculars when you read. Maybe they’ll help?

Hmm that might explain the bald beagle I saw.

That’s funny! Nelson saves the day!

Earl may be flashing back to this song from his younger days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7X43Cfowz4

Reddish bars on his underpants. He must be a Cooper’s Pooper Hawk.

would those strips make him the jailbird?

I have brownish stripes in my underpants…

I kinda liked it the way Earl said it.

If I get the hot salsa at Chipotle, it leaves reddish bars in my underpants.

he was trying to look up a bird’s underpants?

…….and now it’s time for EARL to get some new lenses..!!!!!

At least he’s doing something Nelson can join in on!

My hearing used to be above excellent. It took a while, but one day I realized that many cell phone rings are taken from nature sounds, like birds. I was walking and kept thinking I heard phones ringing. It wasn’t unusual in my last house for me to hear a phone ring two houses away if the windows were open. I can hear a neighbor sneeze here 4 condos away, but the neighbor does have a very impressive sneeze and their windows are usually open. If I am walking by I will yell, ’Bless you!"

Earl get those eyes checked again!

Uh-oh! I think I might be turning into Earl………..

Underpants on birds might save some statue clean-ups.

Sounds like he needs those macro-focusing binoculars to read the guidebook.

I have several bird books on my iPod Touch, but either I don’t have it on me for a hike or the sunlight is too bright to read it, when I need it. I used to carry a backpack with several nature guides – readable in most lighting conditions and easier to flip through, but now my back just won’t take it.

Well, Cooper’s Hawk COULD wear underpants!

never mind Earl – it’s probably one of those plastic decoys anyway

LOL!

I was looking at a headline about a supreme court nominee which said something like

Testimony Continues.

I misread it to say something like Terrorism Continues, and though, yep, I bet some are terrified.

Some people are very afraid of women. Some are justified, some are not.

LOL!!! Can’t wait to show this to my wife!!! LOL!!!

Now that’s the way to get a young grandson interested in birds—make him the knowledgable one!

About 2 years ago we had a male Bald Eagle perched in the neighbour’s pine tree. I never thought I’d have that entry in my bird logbook. :-)

What suprises me is that there are 67 comments but no one mentions the change of color of Earl’s chair. In the first panel it is brown but the other 3 panels it is green, unless they went inside and the green one is an inside chair but usually Earl would be on his recliner or the couch.

Heading to Unity Lake campground, I spotted a red-tailed hawk on a pole. Two poles further, a bald eagle. Two poles beyond, another hawk. Two more poles, golden eagle. On the ninth pole, a pair of hawks. Total distance, about half a mile. None were wearing underpants.

It’s not that uncommon to misread one letter changing a word, but most of us realize the error and correct it. Earl, not so much!

But Mr. Cooper may have had red bars on his underpants.
