Look — up in the sky! It’s a bird!
It’s a bat! It’s an illegal immigrant!

Dr. Steve, our best and bravest battlefield reporter, filed this report on Monday.

I am glad you are in Pennsylvania to hear constant hilaryobamabill stuff and i know you will help obama carry pa and end hilary’s agony. How could they have 106 million dollars. LBJ also made a lot of money during and after his presidency.

We were birding in Texas and went to a bat cave and at dusk saw 13 million bats leave. Give or take a few. The guides told us that as bats leave the cave, they pee. It smelled like urine. It never occurred to me–why would it–that bats and people have the same smelling pee.

These bats are all female and eat moths, not mosquitos. And they are Mexican bats, here with no documentation. Hence, the pee. That very cave served as a source of gunpowder during the civil war, as the guano was boiled and made into nitrites, etc. The people who went into the cave to shovel the guano had one thing in common. They were all black and were digging for the confederancy.

We did see a lot of birds including the black capped vireo. And the golden cheek warbler. You would have to be there.
