Today’s topic comes from Tracy Anderson in Hawaii: what was the strangest container (or method of transport) in which you have received wildlife? In the transport box was the bat and a SpongeBob Squarepants Pineapple House – she said that’s where he slept. By a lawyer.” Soaked and ice cold! She even slept with it.”

But as of right now there is nowhere in the United States where a birder can see a chicken and count it on his or her list despite the fact that there is a well established and long lasting Feral Chicken population in the Florida Keys.

hours on I-95 (we here in South Florida are known for our very limited public transportation options--boy do I miss NYC). I don't tell anyone it's okay to take the milk that was meant for someone's child, and I don't tell a hen I love her and want her to roam free as long as she produces eggs for me. It's comical.

One paper describes them breeding in a human settlement in abandoned clay jars.

How far is the closest human settlement? In other words what are the chances of one of these extremely remote species showing up in a less remote place – like my backyard in Lake Worth, Florida? Well yes, but all of the planet’s tall mountains are relatively close to some form of human habitation.
