In-Reply-To: <006d01c21396$7a797ec0$adf6fea9@biggerbirdhouse> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII A year or so ago, we went to an exhibit at National Geographic on "Feathered Dinosaurs", in which reconstructions of some of the more recent dinosaur finds were presented. These were all feathered, toothy types -- some pretty large and obviously well-equipped with teeth, claws and "raptor"-razors on their hind feet. Barry and I joked about being "bird-watchers" in these days -- when you went out to see a new species, you wouldn't know who would get who! I can just hear it, "poor old Joe, he wanted to tick up that vagrant Blue-faced Crested Raptor but it got him first...!"
