hello everyone,

a friend sent me the link to a stunning video that features Andrew Zuckerman's photography of birds. i have featured this lovely video as the daily mystery birds, but it is so beautiful that you will want to just sit back, click "full screen", and watch as it unfolds. it'll make you fall in love with birds all over again;

as always, i am always seeking mystery bird images to share with a large and appreciative audience, so be sure to contact me if you have some images to share.

i also managed to get a copy of the latest NATURE paper about identifying feather color in dinosaurs that you will no doubt wish to read;

this is the first time that color has been identified in dinosaur feathers, and it was identified using a pioneering technique that i wrote about two years ago where color was identified in fossil feathers for the first time-- and the excited author of that paper popped in to my blog to talk to my readers (linked internally from this story).

i am currently working on another dinosaur story (from SCIENCE) that i hope to publish later in the day, so you might wish to pop in later to read that, too.

cheers,
