And it bears for more than half the year! Organic gardening is a must; those bugs you are spraying could be bird food. New foliage is orange, as are the flowers, and the ripe fruit looks like Christmas ornaments. Hummingbirds like the flowers, and fruit-eating birds like Thrashers and Mockingbirds like the fruit. And nothing more.

Now it’s run partly by the state in the form of a State Park, and partly bt a non-profit organization that maintains the attractions side.

The Zapata Swamp, Ciénaga de Zapata , is of course known for the three birds that bear it’s name: the Zapata Rail, the Zapata Wren, and the Zapata Sparrow.

One of the things that struck me at once about this topography is how much more organic it seemed than that of the mountains. But the grasslands of eastern Montana bear a resemblance to their wildlife that goes beyond the mere evolutionary imperative of camoflauge.

To the Editor: Re “ Bearing Up ” (Op-Ed, Jan. Sarah Palin of Alaska, the scientific literature is very clear that polar bear survival is highly threatened in the wild. Because polar bears are at the top of the marine food chain, their bodies accumulate persistent organic pollutants that disrupt their reproductive systems.

The ability to feel pain is not an obviously plausible way of morally distinguishing microorganisms from other organisms. The question can be raised: Why should these organisms be killed and others not be killed? The very name “vegetarian” suggests that these individuals eat plants, which are living organisms. Why wouldn’t they?
