Hmm! A study like that would make much more sense in the birding books rather than just showing shapes of bills. Good idea, Tony.
ReplyDeleteWhistlers and their ilk are always prying some bit of bark off something! Industrious little birds.
ReplyDeleteToo kind, as always, Mick. I just stare at the pictures sometimes and hope to find a worthwhile theme tying them together.
