New Yard Bird Follow-up Many birders got a kick out of my little story. But, there's a bit of background behind it. Sam Jannazzo has been telling our local birders that I have Pterodactyls on my life list based on the fact that I started birding long before many of them were born. So besides the April fool, it's an inside joke.
I'm glad those who responded enjoyed it. And thanks for the kind words.

Well the joke is on them, because this morning a PINK-STRIPED LESSER PTERODACTYL swooped down, took a squirrel, flew into a tree, swallowed it whole before it flew off to the East. Although not considered a bird by many, some experts group this family of flying reptiles just after the Grebes which is where I count it. I am reviewing some poor pictures taken.
