"We were so astounded we checked and double-checked to be sure the kill was authentic," said Wheeler Wildlife Manager Tom Atcheson. "This particular drake, an adult at the time, was banded by Henry Grammer in January of 1944. That's 28 years ago, and it must have been around two years old then.

"That old fellow must have seen a lot of sights in his day."

He must have dodged a lot of shotgun pellets, too.

COURTESY OF O'HARE

The pool used for the U.S. Olympic diving trials in Chicago's suburban Park Ridge is directly under the normal flight pattern of nearby O'Hare field, the world's busiest airport. Yet not once during the three days of competition was a diver shaken up by the noise of a low-flying jet passing overhead.
