  • Two versions of the "talking birds" motif are featured on this rock panel.  Each pair of birds seems to represent a unique bird species, with the left pair closely resembling parrots.  Notably, the parrot designates a Puebloan clan; thus, if these glyphs are clan markers, the other pair of birds might signify the Turkey (Turkois) or Roadrunner/Pheasant clan.
