I found it interesting that earlier today I wrote to Diana Whiting concerning my opinion about her photo with "the bug" the flycatcher had in its beak. About 2 hrs. later Bill Evans wrote to the bird list that he thought it looked like a brown stinkbug. That was what I thought. See below.
Don't know the scientific name or what variety it is but I've killed lots of stinkbugs over the yrs. & I don't really have any doubts about it being one.

I think it may be gone and in it's best interest to be so! I think I saw the Kestrel with a similar looking bug. diana On Oct 28, 2009, at 11:42 AM, John and Fritzie Blizzard wrote: I got to see the Scissortail.
