hello tweets,

yesterday's mystery bird was a loggerhead shrike. thanks to everyone who contributed your comments and thoughts to the blog entry -- this is educational to my readers.

i have another mystery bird for you to look at .. it's a shorebird, but in alternate plumage, so it should be easy for most of you (I am guessing);

I am especially interested in your comments, especially if you post them to the image blog entry itself since your expertise at identifying a bird, your thought process involved in making the ID, is what I am trying to show my readers who are interested in learning more about the "game" that is birding .. who knows? maybe you all are helping educate a few interested people becoming birders themselves?
