Good Joke for Birdwatchers.

[catsittingstill]

Kip and I were watching the second season of Rome a couple of nights ago. In one of the late season episodes (I think it was "About Your Father"), two characters have fled into the desert and a third has found them there.

Characters one and three have known each other a long time, and they talk quietly around the fire in the desert night. In the background a bird cries.

And the bird chosen to emphasize the utter loneliness of the Egyptian desert…

…was a loon.

I fell over laughing.

:-) I understand that many historical movies are now shot in New Zealand; perhaps they have the same problem.
