YUP!
No matter what the experiment's result, there will always be someone eager to:(a) misinterpret it(b) fake it, or (c) believe it supports his own pet theory.

Re: Ornithology ID Practice
The Clark's Nutcracker is known to cache its nuts that it finds. 90 percent of the time( correct me if I'm wrong) they find the nuts but the 10 percent will germinate and grow into a plant. So the Clark's Nutcracker is largely responsible for reseeding forests.
Orange. Just orange.

Re: Ornithology ID Practice
