although I am sure that most racoon hunts are carried out in a humane, politically correct way.... Let's be sensitive, now; it's called a raccoon search .
The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

South of Boston there is a large state park called Blue Hills Reservation. I see Pileated Woodpeckers there sometimes. But at a distance.
I love all woodpeckers. I once had a Northern Flicker at my birdfeeder and I almost fainted.

Then the next time you come to my house, I'll have a pillow ready for your head and some laundry basket socks to bring you back.
We have had a resident pair of Northern Flickers for a few years. Come over. Bring your epilepsy helmet.

Second the pillow comment. I have Flickers, Red Bellies, Downies, Hairies, Pileated - about 10 miles from the house I can show you Red Headed and maybe 75-100 miles we have the Red Cockaded. Can I have a Tim the Toolman aaugh,aaugh,aaugh?

The tufted titmouse is another one of my local favorites.
I would imagine that Mr. Bukowinski and Mr. Chenoweth would each like it too, as it's distinctive call is described as "Peter Peter Peter".
Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

I got into birds when I was a little kid. It still is one of our reg's and one of my faves, but I could never use its name when sharing my enthusiasm with my mother.
Binky Brown, indeed!

I would think the Canadians around here would like the White Throated Sparrow. It's song is characterized as "O Canada, Canada, Canada"
