I thought I would start off the new year with some beautiful interesting bird images and a thought provoking quotation.

One of western North America's most colorful birds, the Red-faced Warbler was a thrill for me to see. It happened in May, 1988 in southeastern Arizona and I can play a movie of the sighting in my mind to this day. When I was a kid I used to sit and page through a National Geographic book called Song and Garden Birds of North America and a picture of the Red-faced Warbler was in there. It was an exotic bird of the western U.S. and it fueled adventurous feelings. To finally see it in person after having seen it in the book was very fun.
