I'm currently in Washington, D.C. and I don't have my field guide handy - which is a moot point as it is the Birds of Western North America, where I'm from. For the same reason, I can't ask my online birding community from home.<BR><BR>Today I saw a robin-sized bird, grayish overall, but with a long tail. When it flew, white patches were visible on its wings' undersides. And it sang loudly, longly, lustily (3 Ls!) and beautifully.<BR><BR>I've looked on the Cornell site, and I'm wondering if it might be a mockingbird, which mentions white wing bars, but not if they're also visible on the underneath. What do you think?<BR><BR>Thanks, and I hope I'm not imposing!<BR><BR>DeaDeanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-35590172203964729502007-03-24T20:01:00.000-04:002007-03-24T20:01:00.000-04:00What fun is this poem.
