bt, I waved in your general direction twice today. Once as I passed through Philly, and once again as I passed through going the other direction.
Twice through in one day? Was it work-related, or a dare of some sort?
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That's it! Pigeon guillemots.
Also bald eagles all over the place. Being dive-bombed by smaller birds on several occasions.

Sadly, no. Just a picking up of Realtive A from Relative B's home in ... er, Landenberg? and returning to Del.

Gutsy little birds.

Oh oh oh! Also, some rich taxidermist dudes imported African exotic ungulates to an island, went broke, and left the animals there.
You realise that the first time I read this I assumed they'd stuffed them first, right?

Now seriously jealous.

They're more common than turkey vultures. Really! I saw, like, 2 tv's and something like 15 eagle sightings. Some of them had to be the same eagle. A spotting scope was available for one nest. Man, those nests are honking huge. The kayaking guide was saying that the nests can get up to 2 tons and actually bring a tree down from the weigh.
The dall porpoises are way cool. They look like little orcas. They played in the bow waves of the boat and surfed the wake.

'Tis true. Largest nest of any bird.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Well, don't they reuse the same nest year after year, and add to it each year? That would help account for some of the size and weight.

Yep. Though there are other birds that do so too, without creating such monstrosities.

I'm not sure my nest has 2000 pounds of stuff in it, and I hired movers!
