As we rejoice in the crane migrations, others have different ideas... a lengthy piece but worth the time.

Yes...there has been a lot of discussion on my Kentucky birders listserv, given that Kentucky is proposing a hunting season on Sandhill Cranes in 2011.  From the sound of it, a limited number of permits will be given in a lottery, so one of the my fellow listers proposed that we all register for a permit, hoping to reduce the number of hunters who get permits.

Now, that is simply brilliant!

Same here, Patti! It's been crystal-clear for days, but now, our snow has returned and the skies are dark! Boo-hoo!

I am always fascinated to learn which birds make the decision to stick around at this time of year... This is from Bob Marcotte.

(Apropos of nothing in particular: other pieces on the D&C website mention Rochester's winter "whether" and the arrival of "Santa Clause". Oooo-kay...)

That's pretty amazing Bobbie, makes me wonder what else they are looking at?

Because we KNOW they are!! (And that's the scary thing...)

Thought for Today and a Question

Can anyone guess where this quote came from and who said it?

"Just before they went into warp, I beamed the whole kit and kaboodle into their engine room, where they'll be no tribble at all."

Scotty? Star Trek??
