Just out of curiousity, does anyone else have any bird experiences they would like to share? Or perhaps I should rename the book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Camelot (It's only a model -- ssh!!) and the Fine Art of Silliness or On Second Thought, Let's Not Go There -- Tis a Silly Place."
In any case, I wonder if there will eventually be shadow swallows, if the rumors are true. Maybe they don't have airspeed per se, but rather flit from shadow to shadow and strike from the darkness with their terrible coconuts of shadowness.
