Just as the ranger was telling us that we might see wild cats – well, not wild cats, but rather, Wildcats , the wild version of the domestic cat, Felis silvestris lybica , one of those cats popped its head out of the brush about 50 feet beyond her.

This happened to me recently on a birding trip, with somewhat egg-on-the-face results. Bill has led birding trips all across North America and has spoken or performed at more than 100 birding and nature festivals worldwide. I was on a birding quest trip with my friend Geoff Heeter. Wicked, right? Hat-tip to Stella.

How do I know of their Gothic moods when they have hidden them so well in an egg-white shell of conformity? One of his most astounding achievements is the comprehension that Yellow-crowned Night-herons do not exist, as he failed to see any despite birding in North America for more than two years. Wicked, right?

Birds are raised from the egg to follow a certain migration timing, but that timing shifts when the egg hatches later or earlier due to changes in conditions. The relationship between bird deaths and windmills and cats are two very different issues that I feel that I should write about in the next few months.
