I saw a buygnet program on National Geographic or Discovery or something, several years ago, which said migrating birds use the heat from the cities to aid their long distance flights. I can't remember how, but they explained it at the time, and it made sense. I love birds. 909s, Carolyn buygnet (Same sourpusses as ever you-know-where)

Joan, I didn't take it that you were saying something bad about hunters. I just saw a chance to tell people that thanks to we who hunt, there are the numbers of wildlife there is. Each box of shells is taxed for just that reason. Anyway you are too smart not to see just the management side of it, the common sense that record numbers brings disease. IMO the American people get the wrong impression about hunting thanks in part to some TV shows that have caused the non-biased about everyone MRS. BLUE to ask "you don't hunt with hicks like that?" I don't. Most sportsman have a profound respect for the game they take and don't make video of kills. They don't chew tobacco or talk like extras from the set of "Deliverance". Most sportsman are like Joe and I. Regular guys who learned how to hunt from a Father who learned from his Father and so on. I was at the butcher shop the other day to buy steaks for some friends who were working on the cabins. They were killing sheep as I got there after business hours. I wanted to hurl. Damn poor animals, befriended and cared for by humans and then slaughtered by humans. I won't talk of how they are killed or what is the last thing they see. No, it would make people sick to know how that stuff in neat little packages at the store got there. All I'll say about it is that I'll never feel bad about shooting my own game. Especially if it will spare any animal from what I saw those poor sheep go through. We humans are animals, we just put a wrapper around the fact. 909S, BLUE
