A Message About Wildlife


Yesterday we saw a large armada (is that what you call a group of predator birds?) of buzzards. When I kayaked towards them to see why there were so many they all flew up in fright. About ten of them landed on a pine branch all at once and the branch broke and they dropped into the river. Buzzards are idiots. 

There are signs at most campsites that say "no swimming, alligators." We are amazed that the alligators listen to such a request. Alligators are idiots. 

We have only seen one sturgeon so far. Where are these prehistoric leaping fish we were warned about? Did they learn about us and hide in fear? Sturgeons are idiots. 

We have seen only four people total on the river (two pairs). Two of them worked really hard to ignore us. The other two addressed us as sir and yelled "Sir, you're lost". People are idiots. 

If you only know how to identify one kind of bird then all birds are wood ducks. We are idiots. 


What a learning experience.
