I believe all the research shows that feathers DID in fact evolve from scales as early bird sized dinos glided from trees like flying squirrels. Your doubts about this are valid though. As Jay says science doesn’t always know s***. I like your “ask an ostrich” idea.

Food for thought. In that regard, I had a bucket of extra crispy dinosaur for dinner tonite. Who’s at the top of the food chain now?

The Two-Fisted Bird Watcher is truly an international phenomenon. A Finnish winner confirms the site’s global reach. The Net itself is like a flock of migratory birds, perpetually in flight to, and back from every point of the compass.

A note to Bob: bald eagles are bald, their distal legs lack feathers compared with golden eagles feathered feet. And I like the ‘really freakin red headed woodpecker’ suggestion.

Thanks for the entertainment.

i read the jurassic….. dinosaur feathers? why not…science doesn’t know shit. the fact that we have two completely contradictory explanations in physics for explaining subatomic force and gravitational force is proof of that. everything is just a theory, a work in progress.

Great place to put this bird, the really freakin red headed woodpecker. Keep up the good work. I may be making a trip to North Dakota soon, any hint about what kind of birds to look for?? Thanks, Lee

Got to watch one in Alaska catch a small, like 1.5″ long fish and feed it to a young on the bank! They are one of the unique birds that I have seen.

I had my own friendly neighborhood cardinal tapping on the door every day this year, sometimes a little too early in the morning. I finally realised he was seeing his image in the shiny brass kickplate!. A little wax polish dulled the mirror and he left me in peace….

I think “Junco” is a stupid name. In fact, I think the birds themselves object to it. They’d rather be called “Winged Terrors,” but I think “Mild-Mannered Tail Stripers” would be more suitable.

Jeff, nice idea. Obviously you’re a learned and wise guy. For example you used the word “nomenclature” and also the word “sidle.” Your human beings have names that mock the silliness of bird names. This makes my point exactly. Stay in touch, guy. By the way, today I saw a Bald Legal coming out of an office building. Add that to your list while you’re at it.
