Goodbye to George

The nearest that I have come to birding today is seeing John Davis in Morrisons! Pleased to hear that there is a little gull down in South Beach and hope to get there tomorrow.

In advance of the Obama's inauguration tomorrow, I thought how lucky we are that George Bush is going. Otherwise following the bird strikes that brought down the plane in New York last week, amazingly and mercifully with no loss of life, he would be declaring a war against birds. And then we wouldn't get green-winged teal, American wigeon or ring-necked ducks.
