yellow-headed life bird






Life Bird! Life Bird! Life Bird!

Whenever you find a species of bird that you have never seen before it becomes a "Life Bird," and you add it to your list. And since there are roughly 10,000 species on Earth, the list can grow rather long.


"Aren’t they just beautiful? I never even heard of one until a few days ago," emailed Betty Thompson. "I took this photo at Quivira Wildlife Refuge about 1 1/2 hours northwest of Wichita. I hope they put a smile on your face today." As indeed they did.

A yellow-headed blackbird would be a Life Bird for me. You do not always think of a blackbird as being beautiful, but these two certainly are.
