All:
For your consideration:
After a hard day of guiding, I just talked at length to the individual who took the somewhat "less-than-perfect" original photo of the possible North Ft. Myers Mountain Bluebird. I asked her point blank if the bird she saw was "blue" or gray". She said "blue". I asked her point blank if the bird was a Gray Catbird (which she is familiar with since they come to her feeders). She adamantly said "no". She also said although the bird landed ("fluttered" was her exact wording) on her feeder i.e. the one in the photo (which contains popcorn BTW), she said the bird NEVER ate from the feeder nor did it even poke or peck at the popcorn. It basically "looked at the popcorn" and flew off. It was in the 20-30 second time period when the bird was on the feeder, that she took the less-than-perfect photo of the bird. She never saw it again. She also said that the date on which it was seen was Saturday, December 30, 2006 not January 2, 2007. That error came from me. Sorry. . . .
Feel free to comment.
