I found it on the second read.  Cleaver.  i have seen a piece with misspelled words but we could read it anyway, our brains just fixed it for us!  LOL!

Annie! Told ya! NO HINTS!!! (Of course, Shaky had to spoil it for everyone...)

It didn't take me long to find the
the correct answer.

No, it did not. Remember who nobody likes tho, ok??

I'm with Shaky. WHAT possesses people?? OK, don't answer that.

Shoot! Did not realise it would come with FB comments... oh well... still a diversion...

Ok, everyone - no hinting!! Click. Look. Think. Post your answer. (I am taking bets on who gets it first...)

Just answered my own question re WW - emailed them re disabled access/visiting... sure hope I can convince Pop to go!

Anyone know: Will WW be open when I am home?? (I suppose I could google?) Wonder also whether it is a place I could take my ole Dad, who is not very mobile and uses a walker. He would love the place and the birds.

Isn't it? Not sure we could use them in our homes (tho who knows..)... but they would work in places like workshops, garden sheds... EZ-PZ! You'd almost buy a garden shed just to put these in it! Isn't that man who instals them an inspiration? Able to support his family by doing this remarkable yet simple job. We have so much to learn!

Here's an essay on "The Big Year" from 10,000 Birds.

I did read Annie Dillard, Patti - years back. I must go back to "Tinker Creek" again, thanks to you.

No way...I'm walking in!   

You go, Girlfriend!!

Only two goslings survive. 

Nooooo! THIS is why I did not watch!

I thought it was a happy video! I was very shocked! 

Sorry! I knew what was coming with Barnacles, so should have warned people.

Only two goslings survive. 

Nooooo! THIS is why I did not watch!

Barnacle Geese grace our shores every winter - mostly in the NW, around Donegal. And we have long been familiar with the goslings' "running of the gauntlet". WHAT was Mother Nature thinking when she made the decision to have them do THIS? Yet many make it. They are a lovely little goose. (Must admit I did not watch the film...)
