And doesn't it seem silly to load-up birds, which should be able to
easily fly away?

As for flying over a lake and seeing endless water- I know that feeling.
I've seen Lake Erie (sp?) many times, and it looks like an ocean from
the shore- and even when flying over it. But I guess when it comes to a
local flood hypothesis, there are lots of variations (which animals on
board or not, short or long duration, wiping out all humans or not,
etc.).

I like Phil's summary. The part about the ark being washed into the
Persian Gulf and being blown eastward makes a lot of sense. One minor
sticking point of course is that if God knew that the flood was going to
be local, why did He have Noah load all the animals onboard the ark? Or
as Bernie said, why didn't he just tell Noah to walk out of the path of
the flood (he had time -- all the time he and his sons were building the
ark)
