References for Backyard Birders
Thought that the October, 2006 photo above (mass grackles) might be a fun way to start subject matter that some might consider slightly on the dry side - backyard birding references. (Please keep in mind that a new readership is coming on board with the Kindle wireless reading device, and they may not have seen these references before.)
