You forgot my favorite. Monarch butterflies to Central Mexico. Beautiful beyond description.

Birdie is in the HOUSE!

The excitement still reverberates 18 years later.

I saw this commercial during the Tulsa game. You're a UConn legend!

I'm not sure for how long. :cry:

We were members of a CSA (community-supported agriculture) farm some time ago. The farmer pointed out a field of milkweed and showed us what to look for to find monarch eggs. We found quite a few and raised them to adulthood. Did this for a couple of years and planted milkweed in our back yard. (We're not very popular among our neighbors in suburbia.) We've had a good milkweed crop for probably 10-12 years. Nary a monarch caterpillar or egg till last summer. Plus one of the trails I run along has a lot of milkweed, and I haven't seen a caterpillar among those plants for a decade. I'm really sad about that, as I think they're such amazing animals.

The habitat in Monterrey where they overwinter is rapidly vanishing. The drought in Texas a few years ago killed somewhere between 10 and 30 per cent of the migrating population in one year. I could go on and on about the things that are devastating them (actually, I guess I have). . .

So great to see. No darn you Danny, I just, there's something in my eye.

I "like" that you've stated this and brought this to the awareness of others and I. I can't like that this is happening to one of natures most beautiful creations.

What a nice bit of video production. And then there’s Birdie. How can an honest person not like her as a person and respect her amazing career as an athlete. She is just special.

Danny K. getting more exposure.

He was my dark horse candidate to replace Susan Herbst.

Best point guard in WBB and multi WNBA champ...

Danny, I’m guessing that Sue made it clear beforehand that she would only do the video if you agreed to be in it.

I think he was sticking to avian examples, but the butterflies are special.

A veritable rara avis indeed.
