It’s a rainy, bad-birding day and a good reading day, so thought I’d drift off topic a bit. I'm reading this funny, intelligent somewhat irreverent novel called “the wallcreeper” by Nell Zink -- about birding, (in)fidelity, eco”terrorism”, love and which takes place mostly in Europe -- Bern(e), Berlin, the Steckby-Lödderitzer Forest, Albania, with a brief stop in Tukwila, Washington State--- anyway there's a wonderful passage about gulls I thought perfectly summed them up: "the many eerie transformations they undergo on their way from being indistinguishable to being basically identical."
