I met Jonathan because his mother-in-law lives here in Morelia, and when he visits her, we sometimes find a space to bird together.

They're from a legal farm in Illinois, so the law isn't the reason. But I don't feel like I was presented with a compelling argument for not eating lions. I was curious about why it's so terrible to eat lions. It's probably going to come down to culture , I thought. Lions aren't food in our culture. But that wasn't it either.

Or, it’s just “bad luck”, that the laws of probability just have not worked in your favor. However, if there’s a good thing about the laws of probability and birding, it’s that the longer you don’t see a bird when you “should”, the more likely you will see that bird with every try.
