January 10, 2007: Birdwatching Made Easy

Downtown Austin, a few minutes from our offices, was shut down through much of Monday because 63 dead birds were found on a couple of blocks of Congress Avenue. Local authorities freaked out totally (ah, excuse me, I mean "reacted quickly") by stopping traffic on Congress and closing the buildings that front it. It was eventually determined that there was no immediate danger to public health, though apparently lab tests for evil spirits, Illuminati involvement, etc., are still being conducted. Here's the News 8 Austin story.
