RE: OT cormorant trivia
Having seen my first cormorant (official count is 220 along the 53 km length of it) on the 'artificial city lake' portion or the Alster river yesterday, I googled that and stumbled upon the fact that the cormorant was chosen as 'Bird of the Year' by German environmentalist organization NABU. While I doubt that this was done in long overdue recognition of the PDML, it is nonetheless nice =) I've always felt kindly disposed towards NABUlists, no matter where they lie on the spectrum of NABUkovian thought. Their wise voting habits have put my instincts on a more scientific footing. And yet I never quite trust them. After all, having a Bird of the Year surely implies that there must some years when the cormorant isn't it. And that won't do at all.
