cryptozoology, lol steeve! But seriously, this they have 4 fossil sets of these birds. Meaning there must have been a substantial population of gliding birds 6 million years ago. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6262740.stm Here is a pic of a guy molesting the biggest current soaring bird. ...

I just want to offer one more comment about Brad Hall that I've seen from my perspective down here in San Diego. Brad has been very sneaky in using his Regional Directorship against clubs and people that he doesn't like. Let me give you just one example... In 2008 I got a tip that Brad Hall had bee...
