The Post needs some avian education. First, it misidentified a Red Bellied Woodpecker as a "Yellow Bellied Woodpecker" in its recent birding video: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/video/2006/03/03/VI2006030300797.html
and now this: Doesn't the Post have any birdheads on its staff? We're all entitled to make some mistakes but this is getting absurd. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/11/AR2006031101203.html ANIMAL WATCH Hooked Albatross Rescued From River Piling Sunday, March 12, 2006; Page C02 ALEXANDRIA, Union Street South, 700 block, March 1. Animal control was asked to pick up an albatross that had a leg stuck in a piling near a dock on the Potomac River. With the help of the Alexandria Fire Department, animal control took a boat to the piling and caught the bird, which had a fishhook stuck in its leg. The albatross was taken to an animal hospital for treatment, then transferred to a wildlife rehabilitator.
