    Ben, Jeff, all I know is that they don't appear to be Carolina birds. My bird book is Birds of the Carolinas. Either ours look different from your excellent captures, or they are not here.

    Pretty birds and good catch of small birds.

    Are all of you going to go "bigger/more is better"?

    Yeah, they just throw marshmallows. They are sneaky, they are getting better at their craft while distracting the "competition" with funny posts.
