Here he is:

This is Dillbird's story-

Here are a few pics from hiking. The one where he is flapping his wings is on Clingman's Dome, the highest peak in North Carolina. The one by the river, when we got back to the parking lot, (it was in Georgia) there was a little family, and a couple kids, maybe six and eight, and they were _so_ curious about him. I let them pet him. The boy said he'[d never seen a bird before! Hopefully he just meant a hiking bird...

Dill doesn't actually go on the MTB- I just can't think of a safe way to do that. He sleeps in his own gear loft in the tent, and _really_ enjoys hiking. I carry his food and water in urine specimen containers- they for sure won't leak. Sometimes I wonder what people think when they meet me on the trail and I am talking to apparently no one. :-)
