Even if you don't see a bird, you still might cave in a petrel burrow and step on one.Pete Learyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10187377230799609112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877187305777079547.post-75967249199621630762009-02-15T04:11:00.000-10:002009-02-15T04:11:00.000-10:00Pete, Cool.
