Alive and well 7 JUN 2005.
To find this letterbox in Houston, read the first letter of the answers to the following clues, in order. All the answers have something to do with birds, though the clues may seem totally unrelated. The stamp for the box is rather large (approximately 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches), and for best results, bring a yellow, red or orange, brown, and blue watercolor marker to ink the stamp. You get extra credit points if you can figure out the pun involved in the stamp. Please be discreet, replace as found, and let me know the status of the box.
