Hi Tweeters,

Too many good news items to not pass up. This one in
this mornings Seattle Times. A Sooty Shearwater
passed a Columbia River steelhead tag to it's chick in
New Zealand. The native New Zealander's harvest some
of the chicks for food and give the stomach/contents
to researchers to study. Obviously the tag was
hanging out in the parents stomach for awhile and
happened to come up when it fed the chick. Made for
an interesting story.

Sorry for the crummy link yesterday to the University
Week article. I found the better web address shrinker
today:
