Ozone Warbler mating sequence captured on video!
Extremely rare footage of Ozone Warblers mating has been captured on video by an ornithologist using a tiny camera mounted on one of the creature's heads.
The mating sequence is toward the end of this excellent compendium of nesting plummets.
"We have been wondering for a long time how they did it," said the ornithologist shyly. "Now we know."

I wonder if the FAA has ever considered a rule on how much vertical airspace a single place glider can occupy? :?:

Somewhere deep in the forest and high up in the leafy canopy, the contented cries of an Ozone Warbler echo through the impenetrable thicket.
"Hallop! Hallop!"
"I think it's over there!" shouts a taxidermist.
"No," counters a cook from a nearby Korean restaurant, "over here!"
"How are we supposed to find it if we can't see it?" complains an apprentice taxidermist.
"Make 'WHACK!' sound," says another cook. "That scares them. Maybe it'll lay an egg."

By the time taxidermists arrived, the Ozone Warbler was gone.
Sadly, no egg was found.
"It is possible that the tree the Ozone Warbler chose was too small and small forest animals chased it away," said a professor from the university.
"The tree may have looked like a taller tree from the air," he added, uncertainly. "Or maybe not..."

Exhibiting great agitation, an Ozone Warbler squawks and snaps at an approaching taxidermist.
"I don't think it likes me," says the apprentice taxidermist, looking up from a nearby limb.
"Just grab it by the ankle and it'll calm down," shouts the master taxidermist, encouragingly. "But don't get directly under it."
"What?" yells the apprentice. "I got it! I got it! OH, CRAP!!! OH MY GOSH!!! OH %/@$&@#!!!"

"We heard this 'THUNK!" and ran outside," said the homeowner. "And there was one of them warbler things on the roof."
"So we immediately called the taxidermist," said his wife, excitedly.
Unfortunately, no egg was found.
