The Sky’s the Limit for This Birder
Fewer than 500 people worldwide have reported seeing this African bird – a blue-moustached bee-eater. Photo by Marc Chelemer By…
A friend outside Philly sent me this photo and asked what I thought it was.
I gave my answer, and the Merlin app agreed. But almost every raptor ID I'm asked about turns out to be Plan B.

I figured it was Red-shoulder. Diane Louie ID'd it as a Red-shoulder as well. (Thanks, Diane.)
I guess the Red-shoulders are moving into the suburbs there as well.
