Hi Tweets,

As my wife and I took a morning walk along Alki Beach this morning, we heard
what we heard a European Starling doing a reasonably convincing imitation of
Bald Eagle vocalizations. As if that wasn?t impressive enough, another
starling on the wire next to the eagle imitator let loose with an even more
convincing imitation of a car alarm going off. That stopped us dead in our
tracks, but as soon as we looked up at the birds they flew away. I wouldn?t
have been surprised to hear them imitating human laughter as they did so...

Merry Christmas Bird Count and a Happy New Birding List Year to all,
