SPEAKING OF NATURE: The appeal of a white body with black wings
There is an old joke that asks “What is black and white and red all over?” The answer is “a newspaper.” Ironically, the joke doesn’t actually work when printed in the newspaper because “read” and the color “red” are not spelled the same. However, since this is a wildlife column, I shall change the answer to “snow geese, sometimes.”
