About Me
- Gannet Girl
- Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans. What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

Oh my God!! I love this!
Oh my! Toles is one of my favorite cartoon artists. I'm glad that they found a bird believed to be extinct but the excitement must be scaring the birds.
LOLOLOL Amazing they were spotted but almost surely they will be exploited.
LMAO!!!
Lord have mercy.... let's hope not. judi
This is one of my biggest fears! Let's hope that this does not come to pass, that we learn to do it better this time . . .

Uh-oh, now that song's gonna be in my head all day. When our youngest son wants to get revenge on me for ribbing him about something, by the way, he starts singing, "I'm just a Bill, I am only a Bill, and I sitting here on Capitol Hill." He knows that song drives me crazy!!!!
George Bush's take on the ivory-billed woodpecker: "Tastes like chicken."
I wish they had had the sense not to release the information about them.
