Did any of you watch Le Tour De France? How good was the helicopter
photography? did you see the long shot of the gliding Black Kite? We
could have mad a "Life List of Birds Seen via Live Coverage of Le
Tour" and it would have included European Stork as well.

THese guys must have a birder on board somewhere.

Noted this sentence in the report of the Space Shuttle Laucnh this morning.
NASA has also revealed it has noticed dents in the nose of the shuttle caused by birds that hit the vessel in flight.

Yet another good argument against manned space-flight.

JAG waddles off singing:

"Evertime, I am near,"
"Just like me, they long to be,"
"Close to you,"
