Little bird on BRR called Snow Bird in Great Wooded South

Preparing for Great Backyard Bird Count, Feb 13-16, 2009
About: Barbara Armitage's little chickadee

Wisdom humbly shared by Billy Joe Fudge

I am no bird expert, however way down in the Great Wooded South we have the correct id on this bird. From Leatherwood Creek, Toria, and Weed all the way to Crocus Creek, Melson's Ridge, and Fairplay it is known as a Snowbird.



All scientifically documented reports of viewing have occurred three days prior to a snow, during snow cover, and three days after snow has melted from South facing slopes. Some rumors of sightings outside this scientifically proven window suffer from a lack of credibility. These rumors are just as unsubstantiated as the UFO, Bigfoot, and men going to the moon reports that have been so widely circulated as fact over the past few decades.

I know that most folks outside the Great Wooded South set stunned at how "in medias res" scientifically that area really is. However, when it comes to mainline sticklers for proven science as opposed to rumor, innuendo, and old wife's tales there is no area of this great Commonwealth as committed to fact over fiction.

Although there are many research projects currently underway of international importance, I will give your readers a heads up on one that is showing promise. Early data leaked from the Central Research Lab of the Great Wooded South tends to support that the IQ's of a large percentage of those traveling the Great Wooded South segment of the Columbia to Chattanooga Cut-through to Atlanta have increased as much as four points.

Part of the research deals with the relationship of enhanced IQ levels and the ability to string together long coherent sentences. This phenomenon appears to be common place with those who were born and or live in the Great Wooded South.

I certainly apologize to any and all who may be offended by revelations I have so humbly shared and if some long-standing belief systems have been challenged, I have but one thing to say; "don't take it personal for none of us can choose where we are born".
