By Bob Kustra| Idaho Matters@ Note: This episode of Reader's Corner is guest hosted by Idaho Public Television's Marcia Franklin. On May 25th, 2020, our guest today, Christian Cooper, set off for what he assumed would be a wonderful day of springtime bird watching in New York City’s Central Park. By that evening, he was being deluged with calls from reporters. And by the next day, his story had flown around the world.

I was literally the new kid on the block. A member of the speaker’s staff gave me a tour of the Capitol, and we wound up in the cafeteria with its beautiful marble floor.
