Another Sign of the Times
My friend and BOTB reader Jack Cole sent this along. It seems there was a meeting in Green Valley, AZ of the folks who study flying pigs. Bet THAT cocktail hour was a fun one.

About Me
- Name: Bill Thompson, III
- Location: Southeastern, Ohio, United States
Bill Thompson III is the editor of Bird Watcher's Digest by day. He's also a keen birder, the author of many books, a dad, a field trip leader, an ecotourism consultant, a guitar player, the host of the "This Birding Life" podcast, a regular speaker/performer on the birding festival circuit, a gentleman farmer, and a fungi to be around. His North American life list is somewhere between 667 and 669. His favorite bird is the red-headed woodpecker. His "spark bird" was a snowy owl. He has watched birds in 25 countries and 44 states. But his favorite place to watch birds is on the 80-acre farm he shares with his wife, artist/writer Julie Zickefoose. Some kind person once called Bill "The Pied Piper of Birding" and he has been trying to live up to that moniker ever since.

Love the sign!
Several years ago our local Arby's had a "limited edition special" meal which the great big sign board advertised to God and everybody.
Albequerue Tukrey
I am sure the proud residents of Albequerue, NM would have been thrilled.
All wild fowl of that ilk have evermore been identified as tukreys by my kids.
Caroline in SD
Hey, give the guy a break -- that's a loooooong word to spell right when you are up on a ladder.
Personally, I love that it's immediately followed up by "Help Wanted" -- an editor, perhaps???
