Name that Bird (Road Edition)
If these birds don’t look familiar to you, there’s a good reason. Both pictures were taken in April by Kurt Kuehn … in Sierra Vista, Ariz. OK, travelers, we need your help on these. Can you name either or both … Continue reading
A mystery bird controversy
Wherever two or three birders are gathered, you will have differing opinons on …. What is that bird anyway? Such as the case with our most recent round of Name that Bird. It hasn’t gotten many responses, but those who … Continue reading

I love it that people are willing to share their bird pictures with me. Here are a couple that have come in during the past couple of days: Yes, there are bluebirds in the area, even if I don’t see … Continue reading

Thanks for your ideas about that bird Ken Conito of West Duluth took a picture of. We didn’t reach a consensus, but we seem to be headed in the same general direction. Via e-mail, Ron Koistinen of Watertown, S.D., said … Continue reading
Name that bird
Ken Conito, who lives in West Duluth, took this wonderful picture from the deck of his home. "What kinda bird is it?" he asks. I offered my idea, but I’d like to hear from you as well. Identifications, anyone? Bird … Continue reading
