The Board of Governors encourage the general public to take advantage of the opportunity to view Just suppose ... trigger finger twitching a little, and I muttered: '*'Unh, unh! You don't have a migratory bird license!"' We talked softly to the poor bird, who of course couldn't tell us how come he (she?) had missed the southbound flight. Since it didn't appear to be injured we guessed it was sear- ching for a missing mate, and when our eyes met we felt a little closer to each other.
