In 2006 the good people doing Homeland Security at LAX airport missed 75 % of the fake bombs sent past the screeners, who were screening baggage searching for terrorist bombs. They missed 75 % of what they were looking for. Maybe we can be optimistic about the bird numbers. Tuesday 10-17-07 we saw our first winter birds in the backyard. White Throated Sparrows and Dark Eyed Slate Colored Juncos from Canada.
