It's been a good spell for freedom, with the hopefully permanent moving on of Jerry Falwell, and a bad spell for lovin' birds. Not one but TWO depression-inducing stories on birds and love: (1) Albert the Lovesick Albatross. I wrote an angry letter to the BBC wondering why, in all their coverage, nobody is offering a one-way ticket HOME to this unfortunate soul. I mean... 1967?! WTF?!
And then there is (2) the sadness of the (former) Snowy Owl owl couple of Bernal Hill (credit to artolog for the photos). Stinks to be a bird these days, especially where mating for life is concerned.
