10,000 Birds

The Mountain Bluebird is one of the most striking birds in the United States, and is the state bird of both Nevada and Idaho. Though not officially adopted until 1967, the Nevada Federation of Women’s Clubs voted for the Mountain Bluebird all the way back in 1930 and 1931.

I had not previously considered a situation where the two species might come into conflict, but I bet it would be a real money-spinner on pay-per-view. I dare say a jab from the Willet might quickly have put an end to the bout, but it had adopted a passive strategy and taken a points defeat in this round.

Anyway, so I started checking my bird photo collection for photos of species starting with an A (after all, this is a bird photo blog, though I sometimes tend to forget this). Let us start with some of the cheaters in the A-Team – the ones just adopting the name of a continent to get into this post. Are you still with me?
