Correction: albino Catbird

That albino bird I saw for the first time along Bell's Lane on Monday turned out not to have been a Mockingbird, as I had thought, but rather a Catbird! Upon closer inspection this evening, and from hearing its distinctive cat-like "mewing," there is no doubt whatsoever. I should have known from the black eyes, black bill, and charcoal-black tail, but for some reason its posture and cocked tail had me thinking it was its relative, the "mocker." I stand corrected and plead innocent in this case of cybernetic "identity fraud." smile YouTube video pending... [is ready!] I also saw most of the other Bell's Lane "regulars," including a Brown Thrasher, a Yellow Warbler, plus a probable Green Heron flying overhead.

This (or that) year's
blog highlights

Blog highlights have been compiled for the years 2010-2012 thus far, and eventually will be compiled for earlier years, back to 2002.


Explanation

The "home made" blog organization system that I created was instituted on November 1, 2004, followed by several functional enhancements in subsequent years. I make no more than one blog post per day on any one category, so some posts may cover multiple news items or issues. Blog posts appear in the following (reverse alphabetical) order, which may differ from the chronological order in which the posts were originally made:

  1. Wild birds (LAST)
  2. War
  3. Science & Technology
  4. Politics
  5. Latin America
  6. Culture & Travel
  7. Canaries ("Home birds")
  8. Baseball (FIRST)
