All I know is that one of the great anti-male moments in Mother Nature is the fact that in early April, when it is still cold up here, the redwing blackbirds begin to arrive to stake out their territory. These are the guys!! The women stay in Florida for another two months, and then decide to come up and see how things are getting on. And I don't even want to contemplate the male penguin's life....
