Very interesting. I wonder how all of those rumors evolved stating
that the bird had been seen for a period of time there?

UPDATE: BIRD CHASED OFF CAMPUS

In breaking news, Richard Levin, Yale President, announced only
moments ago that the species Krausii Liesallthetime Mayralundus had
been chased from the campus.

The incident involves the apparition on the Yale campus this morning
of a strange bird species, which created quite an unpleasant
situation. *Campus police were called, and with the cooperation with
the local Audubon Society, were planning to fire loud blanks at the
bird in hopes of shooing it away.

However, as the police approached the bird, it immediately ceased its
loud squawking and beat a hasty retreat into a heavily wooded area off
campus. *Audubon member, Caroline Ivyleaguer, said the species was
known to be cowardly and flee at the first hint of danger.

Yale student, Hose Menendez, told the Associated Press, “I’m from
Costa Rica where we have lots of birds, but I’ve never seen one like
this. *It was totally obnoxious. *Thank goodness it’s gone.”

Updates as warranted….
One of my bird watching friends in New Haven spotted a strange looking
bird flying in te general direction of the James Hillhouse campus.

Holy crap! They fly too?

I'd really hoped they were restricted to Maryland. All this traveling about
is making me quite nervous.

John, it's okay. I understand that while they display quite a bit of
bravado when they are hiding in the bushes, that they instinctively
cower in fear at the least bit of aggression. It's been noted that
they will hide in their nests until sure that the threat is gone.

That's fine. But do they schitt on cars? Will it eat through the paint?

Apparently they DO schitt on cars. But, you can tell when one is near
because of it's natural yelp: "dumfoch" "dumfoch".

I'm told they schitt on EVERYTHING. The sidewalk outside the DNC in
Washington, DC had to be steamcleaned after the bird was shooed away
by guards. The bird was there begging for scraps from the incoming
Obama administration. Democratic officials wanted no part of such an
unsavory bird.

Donald lacks grammar skills (above), topical substance (above) and, I
suspect, adequate IQ level (a general observation from prior posts).
