And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
This looks foolish, but consider that there are millions of people who choose to live in San Francisco or New York, making the bird look smart by comparison.
She is on the outside of the points and her head is close enough to rail height she isn't going to be brushed by anything going by. If her eggs can tolerate the vibrations that's not such a bad nest location.
It's a safe location. The frog protects the nest and since the flanges of the tires are inside the track, and she is on the outside, none of the rolling stock will affect her. That's a sharp little bird.
Pure luxury. We had to get up half an hour before we went to bed, eat a hand full of cold gravel for breakfast and sweep the station with a toothbrush.
...And then work 29 hours a day at concession stand, week in, week out, and when we got 'ome our mum & dad would choke us with a train schedule while singin' Hallelujah.
It's a Killdeer bird... they will study and study an area like that... they pick a high traffic area as an impediment to other birds and animals of prey...smart birds
