"Bird is a Verb"
From the Environmental Page of the Arizona Republic, the metro Phoenix daily newspaper, first and third Fridays of each month.

On October 9, 2008, "Bird is a Verb" migrated to the Outdoor Page of the Sports Section, every other Thursday.

In January, 2009, with the downsizing of the Arizona Republic and the shocking demise of its environmental page, the next stage of the migration found "Bird is a Verb" on the Arizona Republic's online version at www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/JimBurns.

In January, 2010, due to lack of technical support from the Arizona Republic, "Bird is a Verb" made its final migration to its permanent home on this website and no longer appears in the Republic.
