Manker’s thesis is that ornithology is an excellent gateway to students becoming science majors in college and, more broadly and longer-term, conservation-minded citizens. That article left an impression and I have wondered what became of Manker’s effort to create a high school ornithology curriculum.

My life experience allows for a generally calm and balanced demeanor. I know for a fact that science is correct in stating that they don’t suck the milk of goats. Then again, science is definitely wrong in stating that goatsuckers have legs. This sounds – and is – dark. They don’t, and I know it.
