Ray Brown’s Talkin’ Birds does a show from Massachusetts every Sunday at 9:30 AM and it’s all about birding.  Every week they play the call of a “mystery bird” and give a few hints as to what it is, then people call in to guess.  Whoever guesses the correct bird first wins a $90 thistle feeder that’s squirrel proof.

AND TODAY I WON.

The bird was a Parasitic Jaeger (which I’ve never seen before) and I had to look it up to be sure, but it was probably the most exciting thing that’s happened to me in quite awhile.  So, go on the website in a day or two and listen to today’s (9/18/11) show to hear me on the radio! It’s also a podcast and a great show, so follow them on tumblr and tune in!

Here’s the bird that got me my feeder :)
