Raucous Antics Prove Miss Backpacker
Winner (Reuters)
01/27/2004 11:31 AM

Reuters - It's a long way from diamante tiaras, satin sashes and a heartfelt desire for world peace, but competition at Miss Backpacker 2004 is hot. At the KingsX Hotel in Sydney's notorious red light district, around 200 mainly British backpackers lured by the promise of "ravishing bosomed beauties" crowd the low-lit bar to see four girls battle it out in the latest heat of Miss Backpacker and the chance to win A$1,000 ($781).

    Raucous and Stripe
    Meet my neighbours, Raucous (first and third pictures) and Stripe (second and fourth pictures). They seem to hang around together, though I don't know whether they're a couple (only other Blue Jays appear to be able to tell male and female jays apart). Raucous is noisy, curious, rambunctious and quite aggressive -- she(?) will come right up to me while I'm refilling the feeder, or reading or eating lunch outside. She gets really annoyed when our dog Chelsea lies down under the feeder, squawking until she moves. In the top picture she's looking right at the camera. By contrast, Stripe is quite aloof, staying at least twenty feet from me and the feeder when I'm outside, eating the seeds windblown from the feeder or dropped by the clumsy grackles. His markings make him look as if he is permanently scowling, but he's very attentive, and loves peanuts -- when there's none left in the feeder, he'll pick them out of the suet ball, and leave the rest of the suet for other birds.

    "We've been available through AIM for 2.5 months now. I've handed out cards to YAs (and a few adults) and have them around the library for people to take. I had the chance to speak to 75 freshman and gave told them about it. (They were pretty amazed). Anywho, this has resulted in over 50 questions from about 35 patrons. (And no, I'm not counting the questions asking if I was a robot or a person). Not a bad ROI." [walking paper]
