Coming soon to an ear near you (via the Internet) - it's RADIO FREE ALCATRAZ. We are putting the finishing touches on our audio program and hope to have it available REAL SOON (you can listen to a rough edit of it by clicking on the title). And you (yes, you) can be part of it. We plan a "questions about Alcatraz" segment for each episode, which means we need your questions. You can e-mail them to us using the "Contact Us" link to the left.

Did You Know?
Some birds such as gulls, cormorants, and other seabirds can drink salt water. Excess salt is then excreted through a “salt gland” located near their eyes.
