FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES
What has Corinna's column of Fortean bird news got to do with cryptozoology? Well, everything, actually!
In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that whereas the study of out-of-place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot or lake monsters, it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean zoologist to be interested in.

CRYPTOLINK: Sharp-eyed News 8 viewers spot mystery animal in live shot
A word about cryptolinks: we are not responsible for the content of cryptolinks, which are merely links to outside articles that we think are interesting (sometimes for the wrong reasons), usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me.

SAN DIEGO (NEWS 8) — After our 6:30 p.m. newscast Sunday night, we got reports from viewers that there was a mysterious animal in the background of a live shot in Hollenbeck Canyon.
News 8's Heather Hope went back to the trail in Jamul on Monday to share what she learned from animal experts since then.
"I have to look at this very closely," said San Diego City College professor John Malinky.
Take a close look in the background of the live shot on the trail at Hollenbeck Canyon Wildlife Area and you may see something.
All appears normal until something lurks in the brush that viewers noticed.
"It looks to me like it's walking on four legs," said Malinky.
Professor Malinky weighed in with his City College geology class at Mission Trails Regional Park.
"[It] kind of looks like a coyote," said student Natalie Myking. "It looks like it's hunting for something for sure."
THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN DOES HIS BEST
The Gonzo Daily: Thursday
Yesterday I wrote about TV coverage of The American Grand Prix in Austin,
Texas, last Sunday, when a huge, bird-shaped shadow was cast over the race
track.
Graham Inglis suggested: "It seems the phenomenon was observed on the
original live coverage. Could it have been a 'green screen' overlay added by the
tv coverage team, for reasons of a publicity stunt?" And guess what kiddies?
That's exactly what it was. However, we would not have been doing our job had we
not looked into it.
Forgive me for banging on about our webTV show, but it matters a lot to me,
and I would be grateful for an many people as possible to see it, and spread the
tidings of it far and wide:
But now, here is the news:

orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two half grown kittens, one
totally coincidentally named after one of the Manson Family, purely because she
squeaks, puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown
cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish. He is ably
assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly
mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we
mention Archie and the Cats?
