Confirmed sightings of the bird have recently been reported in the
Washington, DC area. *Ornithological experts think that the range of
the species may be expanding slightly.

The bird has been spotted loitering outside several District of
Columbia area buildings within which Democratic Party strategists were
meeting to plan for the Obama administration. *According to reliable
reports, the bird has been hopeful that the Democratic officials might
toss it a crumb or two as they enter or leave the building.

However that has not happened and guards were called in one instance
to “shoo the bird away,” according to Melvin Mugwamp, a member of the
Obama transition team. *“We are all aware,” continued Mugwamp, “of the
bird’s reputation and chose to ignore its squawking pleas.”

Story developing…. *More to follow.

I've heard the droppings are big and smelly, too.
