Very well written and informative. Right up my alley. Although it is not a historical article, I enjoyed it very much with its references to the Celts and North American Indians. I like birds, especially our wild Canadian geese which are all flying south at this time of year. Twice in the past year, I have had to bury birds who died after flying in one of the condo windows where I live. I must say though that I (at least I do not remember) that anything bad happened to me after I buried these two birds. Thank you for a wonderful and different post.
