Okay, I have to brag a little bit. I have been invited to Manhattan, Kansas, to go birding with Dave Rintoul and his ornithology students for one week at the end of March. I am almost beside myself with excitement right now as I look through Dave's many bird images -- which remind me of my own years of springtime birding on the west coast of this country. How I miss those days, and those birds!
This is the seventh and last (for a little while) image in this series of Dave's beautiful pictures. Dave and his students are taking me to watch lekking sage-grouse Prairie Chickens -- something I have never witnessed before.

Kansas, eh?
Kansas is the state where Evolution was barred from school cirricula. Kansas is where Huckabee is the winner in 2008 presidential primary.
Are you sure you want to go there? They might not let you out, believing you to need some "Reeducation Camp" time.

I think that needs to be captioned as "Just look at the size of my arse".
