I look them up and they are similiar but a little different. This sounds like another interesting group of birds. We don't have them here in Tucson. Of course, another birder may chime in and say that they've been spotted here in Arizona:) I'd love to see one though one day. They sound quite beautiful.Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-66230278852294107992012-07-01T19:07:17.681-07:002012-07-01T19:07:17.681-07:00I know!!!
