| Jackson? I can't come with much real information. If you google Red Capped Manakin you come up with some information about a little bird that does a mating dance that looks like Michal Jackson on stage. I don't know if I believe any of it. |

| My wife and I are amateur birders! Don't bet your retirement fund (what's left of it) on our Ids. Assuming this was taken in Hawaii, we think this is a Common Myna Bird. |

| The Cardinal is the state bird of my home state, North Carolina, and there are several which live around here although I usually see only the females. Male sparrows have a lot of red around their heads. |

| 25 grams is correct. |

Dismal evening weather made it difficult for my son to get some shots. Fathers day is flying day. Get some better shots tommoro. I'll have Jimmy fly and I'll photo. |

Can anyone out there with a digi scale give a reading on ten pennies so I can check and see if my scale is at all accurate (cheap import so I don't know how accurate it is) because.... |

| We've got something red here but I'm pretty sure it isn't a cardinal. Maybe a finch or sparrow. |

| Male Northern Cardinal, introduced into Hawaii, very common on U.S east coast, I'm not sure if it occurs in CA. You sure got some nice shots. |

| The wild guess was a Red-Cowled Cardinal. It is from Brazil but my sources don't indicate that it occurs in Hawaii. The Red-Crested cardinal has a top-knot, the Red-Cowled cardinal does not. Google both names and you should get some pictures. We searched all of our field guides and after I posted the comment I remembered your travel kit picture and looked to see that you were going to Hawaii. I spent a week on R&R in Hawaii back in the 60's. |

Subliminal inspiration for the wing planform of the "Holiday"? Just noticed the similarity looking through my bird pics! jdaawa, they also had a type of pheasant(?) called a Jackson. Who needs a rooster when you've got Jacksons. |

| Yes, this was in Hawaii. Maui to be exact, on the SW side of the island. This is the lee side of volcano Haleacala so annual rainfall averages only "9-11" annually. Thanks fot the I.D. for this was the family's favorite, albiet most elusive, visitor. What was the wild guess, anyway? |

| We are trying to Id the red headed bird in the foreground, but before I do, was this in Hawaii?
We think it's a Red-Crested Cardinal. It is not native it was introduced in the 1930s. (There are a pair of Northern Cardinal in the upper right of the picture, they ware also introduced to Hawaii.)
If you were not in Hawaii....Ive got one other wild guess. |

Since most everything was in and in working order, I decided to give it toss on a lawn area across the street. Has a nice glide. Gotta get the LG on and go thru the trimming thing. Felt a little uneasy making adjustments at 2:00 a.m.! |

It's definately yellow now. |
