They are birds of ill repute in my world--many towns institute fireworks and air-horn assaults to "persuade" them to move on. A couple of towns (which I don't lay claim to) even hold organized starling shoots for those that aren't easily persuaded.<br /><br />They are filthy and are the Crips and Bloods of Bird World. <i>Avia non grata</i> (if my old Latin still serves)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-78365321820583539572009-10-05T13:18:31.299-07:002009-10-05T13:18:31.299-07:00If you squint from the top of the Washington Monum...If you squint from the top of the Washington Monument looking to the southeast I think you can see my office building.

They are the messengers of spring, every year they come back. Then we know: now we can store our winter coats away.<br />In Italy, they form clouds of thousands and have fun flying in formations.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EOlIv9dg4w&NR=1Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005517826999307074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-6965905938013947352009-10-05T09:11:28.328-07:002009-10-05T09:11:28.328-07:00Great butterfly!Great butterfly!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00140738523399836125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-69241179320447035052009-10-05T03:54:14.809-07:002009-10-05T03:54:14.809-07:00Good morning Terry.

We could see them putting up the White House Christmas trees from the observation deck. I also enjoyed seeing all the memorial plaques on the interior. And my kids loved the hi-tech fog-window system in the elevator.<br /><br />Have you been to the National Cathedral? Great art and architecture to see there.Deborah Boscherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630878222793439712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-81995336225852524042009-10-04T19:12:53.387-07:002009-10-04T19:12:53.387-07:00Those pics from teh monument were way up there!
