I typically label my pictures with the name of the bird using the American Ornithological Union alpha code.

Sad part about this picture is that European Starlings are displacing cavity nesters in Arizona.

Good one, Lyceel!
Hee hee! Excellent Lyceel!
(Man, you're getting some great "mileage" out of that group of mergs!)
Wicked hoody pic and caption lyceel!
Thanks everyone.

Not at all! I'm just jealous...I was all excited about my first Hoodie pics from this past weekend too...due to the distance they'll need some serious cropping...and the females only seemed to want to show their "south" end going "north"... sigh.
