Dale Goble wants to know how Buteo lehuitouzei, a vagrant from France.
managed to get to seattle without being seen by any birders between
Seattle and France. To protect French culture, the new French regime is
buying one-way airline tickets for everyone and everything that isn't
sufficiently French. This bird was kicked off the plane at SeaTac and
wandered around until it found suitable habitat among sarcastic, punning,
limerick-writing birders, where it now feels right at home.
