Birds

I thought to myself; why don’t these birds just fly to Florida or somewhere warmer. 

I don't know if this is universally true. When I lived in MD for many years, I took pleasure observing the birds in my feeders. What I noticed after careful observation was that, while we had Blue Jays year round, they were different individuals in the summer and winter. IOW, the MD Blue Jays would migrate south, and they were replaced by Blue Jays migrating to MD from somewhere further north. So, even though it was cold, to the winter Blue Jays it was warm (warmer than where they came from).

If you would like to visit Florida try between June and November. Between the heat and the hurricanes I don't think you'll spot any snow birds at all. They only come and take the good, try to control us while they are here and then cut and run before it gets too hot.

( (approx. 435,000 miles over their lifespan) )

Now, if they could only learn to fly commercial, they could all be carrying platinum cards. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

And pay enough in taxes so you don't have to have an income tax!
