hey everyone,

greetings from sunny and warm finland, where i am recovering from jetlag! a
reader and i have been discussing the identities of several birds in the
background of two videos that you have likely seen already. we haven't come to
any firm conclusions, but the discussion has been fun and informative, so i
thought you all might also wish to participate, especially since one or more of
you probably know what these birds are!

also, here's another stunning African species to identify, courtesy of Dan
Logen, who so kindly shares his images and expertise with us all;

Hi everyone--

Matt Mendenhall just reported on the Birder's World blog that one of the two
Whooping Crane chicks in Wisconsin has died.
