It was black and buffy-orange! All the places that should have been white were colored (like the color of an avocet head and neck). There were no white areas at all! Can't imagine what it could have eaten to cause the color and it was so completely colored, it wasn't as if it had just come in contact with something that would have colored some of the feathers. <br>Any ideas?<br>Jan Wicklund<br><br>Sent from my iPad<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Mnbird mailing list<br>Mnbird@lists.mnbird.net<br>http://lists.mnbird.net/mailman/listinfo/mnbird_lists.mnbird.net<br></body></html>
