Hello Tweeties,

yesterday's mystery bird was a Couch's kingbird, Tyrannus couchii, which was a nearly impossible ID for anyone, regardless of skill level, until i located and linked to a couple audio files for you to listen to. Today's mystery bird available for you to ID here;

Today was the first installment of Birds in the News since my return from London, so I hope you all enjoy reading it. It features a stunning photograph of a "Blue MOuntain" Rainbow Lory, Trichoglossus haematodus moluccanus, thanks to a bird pal of mine, John Del Rio.
