Before,after photos. I see birds flying in both photos,even hatchlings in current photo. So as usual the press points out any negative it can find and not the positive! Do you guys just normally get up pissed off at the world? Ever had a positive thought in your life other then being positive you are going to try and show anything negative you can. GET A LIFE!
