The house I once rented in Ojai valley, CA was besieged by feral peacocks that roosted in the trees. My friend who owned the house kept a crossbow for reasons he refused to name. If global warming bequeaths us resident peacocks, just think of the feathers and sunday dinners we can have!

Birding for the BBA in Southern Chisago county this summer I saw a peacock cross the road (quite a shock - I assumed it was a turkey at first) and previously heard them and spoke with local residents who said one of the farmers nearby had some on his property. Perhaps one wandered off. Jim On

The discovery of the Lewis's Woodpecker here in Minnesota prompted me to pass on this woodpecker trivia question. I was recently on a trip to Oregon and California and, while I was there, I subscribed to several local bird lists. Oregon recently had a first state sighting of a Red-bellied

Peacocks. Are they considered rare, accidental, migrants or common? I know of a few places I have seen them running free and I have about a dozen living across from my house (in a zoo). Sometimes, they escape and come into my yard. Should I claim them for my yard bird list? Once, while driving

Wasn't there an acorn woodpecker reported in the state a couple of years ago? That would put us at 11. I've had 7 species (downy, hairy, red-bellied, red-headed, flicker, sapsucker, pileated) in my yard. On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 2:44 PM, Earl Orf earl...@uslink.net wrote: I looked at the MN

Regarding my visit to see the Lewis's Woodpecker today, I sat for a little more than an hour at the site.  Within 5-10 minutes of my arrival, it came to the Anderson's feeder.  It only came to the feeder 3 times while I was there.  It spent the majority of the time in the tree on the northeast
