It's a rare hooded twitmouse!

look again... no hood

Hey, you're right. It's not even a bird! I should have paid attention in bio, or at least in Anatomy and Physiology. :redface:

That's "The Guy From Boston". Someone just emailed me a clip of him giving his views on global warming. It's sort of a several minute version of that picture.

I thought that guy was in the Sopranos? The car guy, not the roadrunner guy.

Might be the same.

I don't know about "The Guy from Boston", but he is definitely Vito the gay mobster from "The Sopranos".

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I think that this is a Broad-tailed Hummingbird. The males' wings make a very metalic sound when they fly.

Saw this guy last week in the yard. It's a Cedar Waxwing...a beauty!

Had one of these bad boys early spring. Anyone like to take a guess what it is and what is unique about this bird?
