larry bird is their representative. larry bird becomes their great white hope. but this works in one more way. i keep saying this. let us complicate this. just as larry bird was the symbol and the representative of white americans, he became the subject of scorn for many black americans. for many black americans, the idea was that bird was being celebrated by white americans, he was being celebrated by a white-dominated media well beyond his talent level. isaiah thomas, the brilliant guard for the detroit pistons, he lost to the bird's celtics in the playoffs in 1987. he was clearly upset. and he sounded off on the media 's praise for larry bird. thomas said, " larry is very, very good. but if he were black, he would be just another good guy." we wouldn't be celebrating larry bird. he is just average. this comment sparked a firestorm. it got people talking about race. larry bird's defenders went after isaiah thomas. they said downplaying bird's ability -- you know what that is? that is reverse racism. reverse racism. bird's critics pointed to "sports illustrated

what is unique to birds, all birds? not the fact that they have a beak instead of teeth, since turtles and tortoises can make that claim, too. birds also aren't the only animals that hatch from eggs. just ask the snake or even a monotreme which is, if you can believe it, an egg-laying mammal. oh, yes, you heard me right. furthermore, birds aren't the only warm-blooded creatures in the world. all mammals are certainly warm-blooded, whether big, small, furry or smooth-skinned. sure, birds may have wings, but then so do many insects. hey, bats have wings, too, and pretty astonishing ones at that. the one and only thing unique to all birds that no mammal or reptile or insect can claim to have is feathers. feathers are highly modified scales, and yes, before you ask, scales are something have in abundance. the world is home to a great variety of scaly creatures, even those with spiky scales. but no scaly reptiles or fish have feathers. feathers are truly the triumph of the bird, even flightless ones and pink ones or those wh

what is this bird, the owl? is it an evil creature of ill omen, or is it a vital element in nature's delicate balance? this, the great horned, is the largest owl with ear tufts. the smallest eared owl is this-- the screech. to the great horned's 9 or 10 pounds, the screech weighs in at a mere 6 ounces. the great horned might be considering the screech as its next meal, although it's more likely that it's planning the screech is fierce in temperament, but it's no match for the great horned. [owl screeches] [owl screeches] even though it may attack other owls, the great horned's main prey consists of small mammals. because an owl's wings are huge and its body relatively small, flapping is reduced to a m mimum. thus, the approach is silent, unlike other birds, owls do not fly for fun, and they seldom kill for sport. recovered, the screech watches from a safe distancece known to kill over 100 rodents per week, the great horned is a living mousetrap. smaller even than the screech owl-- in fact, the tiniest in the wor
