Contest Winner
That was a tough contest to judge, the longer the contest went the funnier the answers! I had the hardest time deciding which answer to go with.
First, I have to say that I loved Dea trying to actually id the bird. That has happened to me so many times (not clearly reading directions) I offer my sincerest sympathy as a prize.
Second, Mr. Neil's guess that it was a mackerel was quite good, but he correctly identified the car behind it, thus losing points for a correct id.
I was torn between traffic cop and eastern meadow vole so I justified that you can periodically see a traffic cop in the water (didn't that happen in Smokey and the Bandit movies?) and I've yet to see a meadow vole in the water, so Janet won.
Don't give up, we will have another mis id contest soon.
On another note, I am so happy. I passed a milestone with the blog yesterday--over 16,000 unique visits in one day. I honestly didn't know what to expect when I started this and figured it would be mostly family checking it out--I always thought I'd be lucky to have 1,000 total people checking the blog out period. This really has become a fun and creative part of my life and I thank all of you for being so interested in birds and rabbits.

Congratulations! I don't think I have even 16 readers *total* on my boring site of random musings.
I'll bet Cinnamon highly disapproves of all this viewing activity.

Ooh, I won! I won! I won!
Personally, I liked Traffic Cop.
Congratulations! Word of mouth (plus links on computers) have made you famous among birders. Not only are we very interested in birds...but we never see anything so controversial or political as to raise our dander. Except, of course, Cinnamon's disapproval of everything.
