Except Angry Birds. No, I am not buying every Angry Birds item I see, but I do have an Angry Birds stuffie and some fridge magnets and...well...when it came time to buy Easter candy, I went for Angry Birds without giving a single thought to what the candy itself might taste like. It claims to be "fruit flavored," but a strong odor of bubblegum filled the room when I opened the package. Gack. And yes, I'm going to save the Golden Egg for last. Sheesh, did you have to ask?
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
