Wait until you can’t get rid of them like carp, Asian beetles, Eurasian water milfoil, kudzu, and buckthorn. Kill them on sight!

So how did this majestic creature end up so far from home? It’s not unheard of for birds to stray from their homeland, a phenomenon known as vagrancy.

Sometimes it’s environmental factors such as climate change or habitat loss that push them out of their natural range. But sometimes it’s just an internal navigation failure.

Wrong-way raptor. Covid messed up the bird’s GPS system.

They just had to get that climate-change thing in there.

I don't know, it would have to spend the rest of its life apologizing for its privilege.
