Who Says YOU Have Intrinsic Value

    Terns are very important creatures.  They have to be right?  I mean that must be why I'm out here dragging 2x4 frames and sheets of plywood across slippery shit covered rocks to rebuild a blind that will be used to observe their wily ways.  The blind got itself blowed away the other day in a storm, so here we are.
    Now, it is possible to become confused when working on a project such as this.  You see, on our island we have signs posted to let visitors know what areas are off limits to protect nesting birds.  The bird that is exampled on the signs is a Black-Crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax).  However, if one was to visit Falkner Island a scant three miles to the East, (which you can't) you would find decaying Night Heron corpses littering the shore.
    What, you gasp?  Nycticorax nycticorax, you see, is mortal foe of Sternidae and is therefore persecuted most grievously by the guardians of  "The Falk."  The other primary use of said blind is to conceal oneself for ambush of the credulous "quarks."  Thereby rendering the diversity of our little templum greatly reduced, homing itself to little more then Dumetella carolinensis and Quiscalus quiscula.  Damn you Quiscalus quiscula...damn you.
