I found a bird exactly like that laying in the middle of the road when I lived in Minnesota. I _thought_ it was a pigeon of some sort, but wasn't sure. The guys that were fixing our house after the tornado said it was a baby Great Blue Heron!!! I'm sure...That was my beloved Dil_bert_, who was with me only till Christmas of that year, the worst year of my life.

I won't give up caffeine, even though it occasionally makes my eye twitch for two weeks at a time...
