Recently the U.S. Department of the Interior changed the inscription on the metal bands used to tag migratory birds in the Pacific Northwest.

The bands used to show the abbreviation of the State of Washington's Biological Survey, "Wash. Biol. Surv." until the agency received the following letter:

"Dear Sirs:

While camping last week, I shot one of your birds. I think it was a crow. I followed the cooking instructions on its tag but, I've gotta tell you: it was horrible!"




Flyin' out to San Diego tomorrow for a soccer tournament. Hope you and ES have a great Thanksgiving!!!!!!
