Subject: [MDBirding] OT: My favorite Maryland bird (still)
It's been five years since I last posted on this topic, so please
indulge me. I'd like to give a shout-out to my able avian assistant,
Pascal the African Grey Parrot, who joined our household 30 years ago
today. Although her bird-call repertoire is disappointing and her ID
skills are only so-so, her ability to spot raptors is superb. She's
enabled me to see many hawks and vultures that I otherwise would have
missed, and often points out unusual birds in our yard. All she asks in
return is unlimited treats and total obedience!
