Answer:  CALL “WADING“

(A cute stinky pun.  Hey, if homeless people can have cell phones why not large birds?  There were no new clue words today, but all of the jumbles registered as new.  None of them gave me any trouble today.  The answer letter layout was well thought out.  I don’t think it gave anything away.  Nice cartoon.  Jeff could be the next John James Audubon!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
