…as I often do, here are some “Secrets of Feral Pigeons,” thanks to a winsome comic called Wild Toronto that puts Mark Trail to shame.

But if you prefer fish to fowl, perhaps you’d like to witness this year’s Mermaid Parade at Coney Island, at which I will be shaking my tailfeathers (or gilding the gills) in a Dixieland-tastic swing routine that will lead off the parade tomorrow afternoon.

It’s always a great occasion; come say hello (or just make appreciative dolphin sounds and wave) if you’re there!
