Death From Above ’07

Yesterday a bird fell out of the sky into our home, dead. Not sure what this omen may portend for me. But I do know what it means for migration season. Thank you Cosco Busan and the Coast Guard.

Hi Jeff,

Did you see the bird drop, and were you able to send it to have it counted and analyzed?

The International Bird Rescue Research Center, where I’ve been volunteering since the spill would love to hear about this.
