Angels.....hmmmmmmmm?

Are these "Wet Coast" angels? What stage and condition is their plumage in?
What is their taxonomic name? How common are they? Does any morphism occur?
Is there any evidence of hybridism with angels from other areas. Are they
nocturnal or diurnal? If migratory please include arrival and departure
dates with your field notes. Please be more specific when describing
habitat.........what type of pin? Approximate age and sex must be included
in your report. Notify us if using SIX-letter code or AOU alpha code. Has
anybody called the RBA yet? Is there such a thing as an official "State"
angel? Also include any photographs and any sound tapes that you may have
that don't include harp music in the background. Did they make the Christmas
count? NGS screwed up again..... they're not in the new book. Until the new
Check Lists have been published just pencil in any sightings. Boy, was the
printer mad when he was told to stop the presses. Have Mike Price and Don
Baccus been notified for further clarification?

I couldn't resist either.
