    Evening Grosbeak

    Evening Grosbeak is always a great bird for me, it's no Sharp-tailed Grouse, but not a bad consolation prize...especially since it was a first look for you!

    American Woodcock

    Peter C. is spot on, woodcocks are usually pretty hard to see most of the day, but get them when they are displaying and you won't be sorry!

    Hawks at my feeder :(

    This topic seems to come up a lot here! The best advice I know is that if you see a raptor watching your feeders regularly, you should just shut them down for a few days.

    How long have you waited for a bird to show?

    Cats - Not Raptors: No surprise there

    Thanks Andy, didn't make the connection, my bad. Nonetheless, the ABC take on the study is better than that of the NY Times, as we might expect. Both include a link to the actual paper, so I suggest accessing it via ABC. http://www.abcbirds.org/newsandreports/releases/110314.html

    New Species of Antpitta from Colombia

    The plot thickens! Mailing an envelope with some feathers, a collector name, and a locality and expecting it to be cataloged just reeks of desperation.

    Hummingbird Nest Webcam

    Excellent webcam footage! But...I'm afraid I also don't know a thing about how to treat your rose bush. There are a lot of smart people lurking on this forum though, so I suspect someone will have a cure for you...good luck!
