CONTEST!
Okay, with the blog being down for so many days I think it's time for a contest! The prize?
1. Brand spankin' new National Geographic Field Guide--hot off the press. Note the new thumb tabs to make it easier to find the birds. Ooooo. Ahhhhh.
2. An official Cape May Bird Observatory Field Guide holder with strap. Oooooo. Ahhhhhh.
3. An official WingScapes (the company I'm working for) key chain flash light--perfect for looking for woodcocks! Oooooo. Ahhhhh.
4. A Leupold tote bag with a meadowlark design. Ooooo. Ahhhhh.
What will the contest be? Well, my friends that's somewhat diabolical. Identify what bird I had painted on my face:
You will note, that I am standing next to Sibley (see Susan, I did actaully get within touching distance). Here is a hint for my face painting:
Next, identify the bird painted on WildBird on the Fly's face:
Now, identify the author who has a cat painted on his face:
Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Evil? A little, but look at the cool prizes! First comment that correctly identifies all three AND includes a name wins.

Jeesh!
I'm stuck on what Amy's bird is!
Here's my best effort:
Northern Goshawk
Peregrine Falcon
Kevin Karlson
Don't forget...It's a TOM Cat.
Hi! I've been a lurker reading your site for a while. A midwestern birder transplanted in California now. I'll take a guess at the contest.
Northern Goshawk
American Kestrel
Kevin Karlson
BTW, great face painting! Amazing detail.
I'm not even going to try.
I'm just glad you're back!
You are so much fun...meeting all these big birder-types with a face full of paint. Rock on.
Nice pics! I wish we had some people wear such great make-up during trick or treating!
BTW - if you want a contest on the completely other end of the spectrum, check this out:
Mix-n-match toilets, win $20 prize. It's all work/home appropriate, just fun and silly.
What else! You a Cooper's!
Next is a Kestrel?
But, I'm stuck on the Tom.
I'm so glad you are back!!!!!
Susy from UT
Broadwing
Kestrel
Osprey
Northern Goshawk
Great Horned Owl
Kevin Karlson
I'm guessing:
Northern Goshawk
Blue Jay
Kevin Karlson
Go, Andy Pedler!
You lurk and wait to make your comment and when you do, you hit the nail on the head. You are right, I am a goshawk, Amy's a kestrel (transgendered since she is female and her make up is male plumage) and that is Kevin Karlson as a cat.
Email your snail mail address and I will send you the prize booty:

Whoot!
More contests soon. I was kicking around the idea of doing a reasons why the blog went down.
One of my tech contacts told me that your blog was down because the server was damaged by stampeding yaks.
That is probably as helpful as whatever the people at your ISP would tell you.
I was so close!!! I knew I should have compared falcons in a field guide.
Do I get a prize since I can identify the guy in the background of the shot with you and David Sibley? That's Vermont Pete.
Did David Sibley comment on your shirt?
Bonus Points for Keith! Pete gets around.
I can send you a WingScapes flashlight key chain if you want.
