oh I agree - unlike some of his stuff, which are a bit like being hit over the head repeatedly with a copy of Das Kapital....

I love birds of prey and I'm not sure why I do so much. When I was a kid I stole a European Kestrel from its nest and raised it, my goal to be a falconer.

...ever see this ?

A friend of mine has been using this image of Billy, sans "Kes", as an avatar on forums for years. I never knew what it was.

I've been a birder my entire life. Last week, on Thanksgiving morning, I walked to a market to get some last minute supplies. It was about 43º and I spotted some Juncos in the bushes. The first of the season. Just a few minutes later it started to snow - at 43º! The Juncos (snowbirds) literally rode into town on the snowstorm.

Hey Ahab, I'm a fan of the little Kestrels, too! And yes, I'll have to watch that, I did see the clip of it you posted before.
