Was this a carbon neutral trip?

I'd say pretty much so.  Even if it pooped along the way the poop's organic.

And it may have not even done that  if there were no windshields around for targets!

My aunt was not the least bit neutral when she looked to see some sea gulls fly over.  (Just try to keep your mouth closed when you look up!)

 

Red Skelton joke:

Gertrude and Heathcliff (Seagulls) were flying around Hollywood.

Gertrude: "We've been here a week and I have not seen one movie star."

Heathcliff: "Follow me, I'll spot one for you."

[Paul of Covington]

   The one that sticks in my head is

   Gertrude and Heathcliff are flying over the ocean

   "Look!  Down there!  The ship of fools."

   "How do you know?"

   "They's lookin' up ain't they?

After being bombed by a bird, my grandfather wiped the mess off of his head and said, "I'm glad cows don't fly."

Reminds me of the joke I heard in Shreveport in 1985, as the dumping during the Iran-Iraq war temporarily ruined much of the domestic oil business.  Paraphrasing slightly: what's the difference between a Texan and a pigeon?

[Murphy Siding]

     Ole and Lena were railfanning down at the rail yard. A pigeon flies over and drops a load right on Ole's head. Lena says "Oh gosh! I wish I had some toilet paper." Ole says "What the hell for? The bird's probably half a mile away by now!"

When in central Africa always wear your pith helmet because of the Foo bird. If you should get the droppings on your head do not wipe them off, get professional help.  If the Foo ....s wear it.

You think seagulls are bad?

When I was at Camp Lejeune in 1976 a fellow lieutenant got nailed by a pelican!  

I heard him muttering, "Good thing for that bird we ain't got live ammo for this exercise!"

     Many restaurants, these days seem to be offering " Buffalo Wings".

  Judging from the size of those wings [and dispositions] of local Buffalo

One has to wonder, how do thiose small wings get large animals up in the air?  

     Just imagine; a buffalo 'chip' dropped from altitude, and the result ?

Hats off for a remarkable feat by the godwit.

If in fact it originally was carbon neural, that has surely been offset by all the electrons  we've sent whizzing around since the story got posted to the web.

I once got hit in the eye by a bird dump. It hurts! Burns worse than battery acid and I've been burnt by that. No fun! I guess it was revenge for laughing while a friend in the Navy threw seagulls Alka-Seltzer.
