One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.
The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.
