Summer of the Bird Attacks

Here in Missouri, we're not blessed with sharks, so the media needs to latch onto slightly more, um, mundane trends to carry it through the summer.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has seized upon just such a pattern of natural disaster with its second story in two days about marauding birds. Today's entry: Boy feels the effect of goose nesting season:
    Five-year-old Chase Standefer wanted to get a fishing lesson but instead got schooled about another type of wildlife.

    As he set foot on tiny Jolie Isle in Lake Saint Louis on Sunday afternoon with his stepfather, Robert Price, a nesting goose attacked the boy, causing a small but deep gash on his scalp.
I cannot wait for the in-depth local television news investigating if the birds around your house will attack you.

(First story about bird attacks here.)
