It is difficult to speak of…the explosion, the flames, the blood, the inhuman screams, the terrible sound of metal being ripped apart. But I could not have done it without my brother Seagull Steve, who leads the world in birder research. When I was but a child, I was caught in a horrific accident. There you have it birders.
