sighting

I was talking with [livejournal.com profile] beckyb on google chat and I looked out the window, to see a Steller's Jay: a beautiful rich blue corvid with a black head.

How cool is that?

Also, some of you may enjoy the online bird field guide I found.

Very cool -- and a great field guide, too, though how you'd use it in the field I'm not sure!

cell phone internet access, of course!

sheesh -- it wasn't that long ago that always-on internet was an unthinkable novelty.

I'm in love with this guide! It clarified that I was looking at a young female cardinal along with the waxwings, grackles, sparrows and rabbits out in the yard.

they have rabbits in the guide?

yuk, yuk, yuk. I am capable of identifying a rabbit.

I'm working on that.
