Yeah, I know we discussed this years ago, but the Ohio Historical Society--recently renamed the Ohio Historical 'Connection' (yuck)--now has some really neat ways for us citizens to inspect the precious objects in its collections. This http://www.ohiomemory.org/cdm/compoundobject/collection/p267401coll32/id/2346 just might interest a birder up to her hubcaps in snow. I'm a big fan of birding without a car from time to time. Yes, this is the pipe image many of us discussed a couple of years ago, but the OHS--OK, the OH"C"--now has some nifty new ways for ordinary folks to scrutinize these treasures. Check out all the buttons--you can do everything but smell it! Previously, the big dispute was: does the image represent a Carolina parakeet--as Mills characterized it--or a "hawk"--more precisely, a peregrine falcon, based largely on the facial mask-- as others would have it? I'm not gonna press anew my own opinion, but observant birders will have a lot of features to look at, some of which may point in different directions...just what were they smokin' down in Scioto County, anyway?
