TWIMC: I know for a fact that the farmers in the Columbia Basin,
especially the ones raising alfalfa for seed, dislike magpies and will go
out of their way to shoot them. Reason? They sit on top of the bee
boards and fill up on the endless supply of buzzing insects constantly
coming in for a landing. They don't even have to fly in pursuit! Hans

It's better to be "WNGNUTS" than dead-bolts. (vanity plate)
