From the Editor’s Desk
My sister and I have a joke about how every time I travel, I have encounters with birds. Each of my digital travel albums includes a video in which some bird - usually a very large bird - is following me, (in quite close proximity) while I engage said bird in conversation. In Salem it was a seagull, at Imperial Beach it was a seagull, in Colorado it was a raven, in New York City it was my nosy hotel pigeon, and so on. Because of all of my previous encounters, I assumed that large birds were just friendly beings who like to hang out nearby and hope for snack scraps, like tiny dogs with wings. That is, until last week, when I had to do some work on a third-story balcony belonging to one of the apartments above my boutique.
