While you are still there Kayakamina:
Fabulous bird over Kentucky. Manitou flying over Nova Scotia's western range. 5 and 9.
So far I have R???Y and the western range is the Annapolis Valley, but I may be leading myself astray with that. Don't birders speak of ranges?

[kayakamina]

Rocky.....Roc= Fabulous bird + KY (kentucky)

[crofter]

The fabulous bird is the ROC and KY is the abbreviation for Kentucky, so the first word is ROCKY! Let's start there

[kayakamina]

And of course Mountain...Anag Manitou +N

The west tip of N ova scotia

[kayakamina]

Mountain S .. Sorry

[crofter]

Taking "Flying" to mean anagram we get MOUNTAINS

[ontarioice]

Oh Gawd. I feel so dumb. I've been staring at that clue since early morning.
Thanks Kayakamina and Crofter

[ontarioice]

And I live here and all! Duh!!!!

[crofter]

I was once stumped with a clue for the village of OXENHOPE and it's five miles up the valley from me!

I better go and spend time with Mrs Crofter!
HNY to you both! People like you make AB tick!

[kayakamina]

I agree with that sentiment from crofter!

Compliments of the season to you O-Ice. K

[ontarioice]

Thanks. I hope you will have everything you wish for in 2007. An impossible dream for some of us but worth trying for. Blessings to you both.

Kayakamina: You were also included in the "you" and the "making AB tick" comment.

Note how we both approached solving that clue of O-ice in exactly the same way! Even down to the detail of treating the solution as two separate words! Eerie!
