A BAD TIME FOR BIRDS

It has been a bad time to be a bird.

5,000 redwinged blackbirds (is that four and twenty?) were not baked in a pie, but fell from the sky.

1,000 starlings joined them in their fall.

Also falling this weekend were Ravens, Falcons and Seahawks.

Of course those last three belonged to the National Football League and were in their respective playoff games.

In my earlier post, I suggested that the cause of the death of 5,000 redwinged blackbirds was suicide.

I still hold to that theory.

As for the Ravens, Falcons and Seahawks...

I cannot say.

But I did notice bullet holes in their shoes.
