As a young boy on a farm, I was always thrilled to discover a newly constructed sparrow’s nest. It was fascinating to watch for the eggs and then to wait for those featherless little creatures with bulging eyes and gaping mouths to break out of their shells. Standing at a distance, I could see their […]

An item carried by the Los Angeles Times Service, and repeated in The Austin American-Statesman (Sept. 16, 1989, p.A18) is of considerable interest to us.
