Puzzle Description:

It could be an eagle perched on a balancing rock under the open sky. Or it could be something more abstract.

This is a really neat puzzle. Good for the imagination. I can see a pterodactyl about to take flight.

I've been distracted and forgot about this puzzle. I thought that for sure one of the math nerds would have rumbled it.

It looks like one of those events icons from the Vancouver Olympics. Bird figure skating... Thanks for the puzzle, Joe!

Read the clue numbers down the left side.

Nice that it makes a circle.

I had tried several different circles with these clues, but when I realized that the 0 that would be in line 17 would be included no matter what, I felt that two clues per line with one left out for that 0 would make the most sense. (Lines 19 & 20 have only one clue each due to necessity.)
