And now Clark County commissioner Chris Giunchigliani has proposed making it illegal to feed pigeons in unincorporated areas of the county, which includes Las Vegas. Pigeons are, perhaps, the most loathed of birds.

Somehow the GEICO Gecko ended up bouncing around with a kangaroo in Las Vegas! And even though we weren’t there in Las Vegas with the gecko, that doesn’t mean that you can’t get lucky! Have you seen the commercial? What other trouble did the GEICO Gecko get into? Richard Simmons was there.

Others may be perfect for a free morning on a business trip to Boston, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, or Las Vegas. Some are great for a specific bird, others for thousands of birds, and others during a particular season. Some just seem to be rarity magnets. But even with varied criteria, some locations rise to top.

I’ve never really been to Nevada—just a layover in the Las Vegas airport, where I was amused to see slot machines at the gates. Either way, I’m extremely excited to be attending my first birding festival, and very grateful to the organizers for covering the expenses.

Mayweather and McGregor are expected to attract 5 million ppvs for their super-fight at the 20,000 seat, T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. I had not previously considered a situation where the two species might come into conflict, but I bet it would be a real money-spinner on pay-per-view.

The southwestern US is still undiscovered country for me – barring one trip to San Diego and a handfull of layovers in Las Vegas, I’ve never been – and I had imagined a Grace’s Warbler darting out of a treetop in Nevada or New Mexico to add a flash of color to my first real exploration of the region.

Animal Ethics

MARCH 5, 2007

To the Editor: The euthanasia of more than 1,000 dogs and cats at the main animal shelter in Las Vegas is surely a major tragedy in the sheltering field (news article , Feb. 16), and the rapid spread of diseases at a facility packed with 1,800 animals required swift action to prevent even more suffering and loss of life.

And of course, Saint Peter is the patron saint not of Ireland, but of places as varied as Rome, Scranton, and Las Vegas. A cream stout by St Peter’s Brewery. Yes, it’s English ( shh! ). I admit this is all hardly in keeping with the spirit of yesterday’s holiday, and regrettably, redemption will have to wait for next year, I’m afraid.

A representative of the development company (which also owns Mall of America in Minnesota and Canada’s West Edmonton Mall) used the phrase ‘Las Vegas-type atmosphere.’ Here’s a thought – we already know where to find that atmosphere…in Las Vegas!
