Hello, I'm hoping that someone has a few spare moments to answer some questions: Last weekend in Ray (darn near Canada), MN, we saw a stunning Eastern Bluebird; his coloring was vivid and normal - except that his cheek and eyebrow areas were stark white! He was accommodating, providing a long look from all angles. I couldn't take my eyes off him, as he looked so exotic! How common is this color variation? I am fascinated by reports of people hearing flocks of migrating birds overhead at night, for I have never experienced it. Can I do anything to increase my chances of hearing these flocks? For instance, is there a certain condition or time that's better? Or is it merely "right place at the right time" when these night-time flocks are heard? Any input on these questions will be appreciated. Thank you, and good birding to all! Christine Olson - Chisholm Peace --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
