An Obliging Catbird
On the late news last night on our local TV channel--NBC 25 in Hagerstown, Maryland--one of the feature stories was about a case of animal abuse. As the reporter was telling the story, viewers were shown footage of a street scene in a residential neighborhood. Just as the reporter mentioned the word cat, a catbird flew into the frame and landed on the curb in the foreground. What an incredible coincidence! Or had the script and film footage been carefully edited for just that effect? I somehow doubt it!
