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 week ago, we had a caption contest, and we had some great entries.
I particularly liked two:
"Looks like a silver-throated blue bobble-head to me. The tawny crown and black chevron on his chest are classic field marks." –Fran Duggan
"This palisade peeper looks like the offspring from a pairing of the Scarecrow and Tin-man families." –Janet Terchek
Congrats to the winners of "Icky the Hungry Heron," signed by at least one of the authors and (one of the copies) by the silver-throated bobblehead himself.
Thanks to all who entered, and thanks to Chris Archer, who took it upon himself to pose for the photo!
