A bird's rarity is always relative to where one lives. That's what makes this such a fun hobby.

You want an incredible bird take the Blue Jay of 2004 now there was a phenomenal bird sighting. Seriously though while I remove my tongue from my cheek. The wonderful thing about a post like this or talking to birders from the other side of the country or even the world is to be reminded that what we take for granted every day can be exciting and new to someone else. Whether that is an easterner getting excited about non Ruby-throated Hummers or us westerners getting excited about Blue Jays or the even more amazing cardinals. Thanks for reminder to always be fascinated by the familiar.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323434040544033893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-5314661649400842912014-10-06T12:15:43.182-06:002014-10-06T12:15:43.182-06:00I think they are pretty cool birds.
