Larry S To: MOU-NET@LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [mou-net] "Boreal" chickadee photo on Recently Seen Before it is removed from Recently Seen, the photo of an aberrant Black-capped Chickadee is worthy of study. It is quite easy to see how a brief view of such an individual could result in it being incorrectly identified as a Boreal Chickadee. It's really a cool photo. http://moumn.org/cgi-bin/recent.pl Jim Mattsson Eagan ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
