alright! First let me say how AWSOME Anne is!! I don't know how long she searched for me for some answers to some clues in yep.. another contest I have been in! THANK YOU ANNE~  So here I need your help!! These are clues to the names of birds.. Found in a pie: Blackbirds Seen with Bishops and Kings: Rook Darkness in a storm : Thunderbird (but the paleontologist’s daughter in me says: Rahonavis "cloud/menace bird") A famous nurse: Nightingale A circular letter: Seagull A color plus a tool: Yellowhammer I have my answers there but two of them worry me! So if you think of a better answer for the storm one or the circular letter one email me!!!! Or just put it here!!! Thanks!! Mabye i can win some yarn and knit something nice for Anne!!!! Denise |

Denise  Thankyou for saying the things you said about me  This is SOOO not true however! ... What YOU have come up with in replies have been awesome ... Denise emailed me a question a while ago about the rank of knights and dukes etc.etc. and it was highly involved ... having to put this list of people in ranking order ... i.e. "the daughter of a knight and the brother of a Duke " ... and so on ... and ALL I COULD SAY WAS ... "I haven't got a CLUE!" ;D But meantime Denise had it all figured out!! ... HOW DID YOU DO THAT?? IT WAS A HORRENDOUS QUESTION!!  These all sound right to me ... but I do have a question !! When you say RAHONAVIS do you mean the "Raven" ?? |

That rahonavis is a prehistoric bird...
UGH! she just posted a 'correction' there are two with the same answer.. so the darkness in the storm one is NIGHT-in-Gale...ugh! how whitty!
You think Seagull?? That is the only one I question right now!

M'Lady, the catbird is out of the bag! We all know you are of higher importance than Camilla! Denise, as a former ornithologist, I think your answers are right on. (and for those who don't know what an ornithologist is... my son told his science teacher that his mom is a professional bird brain...) |

Well they weren't all right!
A circular letter Robin - a round robin is a circular letter
You know.. I looked up circular letter.. and round robin did not come up!! I went with that angle first.. ANNE... is this and enlgish thing??
Now I should protest because she promised that the next question would be of an american bent.. but it wasn't erady.. and it wasn't ready today either because her new question is about insect names!!
GRRRRRR I'm out again!
Denise

I was just sitting here thinking more about it and thought of round robin (before I read your post), but didn't think it quite fit. Hmm

A ROUND ROBIN!!  OK ... I can see it NOW but I definitely didn't at the time!! Oh this definitely is a case of the "way different people think" ... and you have to kind of "tune in to that!" YIKES ! Denise !! ... keep us informed about the insects!! Trid ... Apart from having a huge laugh about the "birdbrain" comment ;D I really only have to say "Camilla? Who on earth is that?" ;D ;D ;D |
