I m a bird lover, and spring time is prime time to get excited about our feathered friends. This past week I watched as robins and other birds scrounged bits of straw and other stringy things from my garden. If you ve ever built a house you know the amount of time and effort it takes. Countless hours examining huge books of wall paper samples, floor plans, paint colors and on and on. So many decisions.
Birds have it much easier.
Each specie of bird only makes one kind of nest. The passing on of the skill of building a particular kind of nest from generation to generation of birds is truly an awe-inspiring miracle. If that skill were to be lost somehow well, it would be catastrophic. China s desire to host the 2008 Olympics. One of the most dramatic moments that happens again and again in the summer Olympics is the passing of the baton during relay races.
