It's been anything goes for a long time in the polls, so why not? The horned owl. |

Yellow Finches.For their size,they are vicious,at least to each other.I can and have watched them for hours at the feeder.Right now,my least favorite is the Robin,because I have one that has been trying to dismantle my pea trellis for nesting material. |

I prefer Robins. Yes, I like Robins, the gardener's friend. Actually they are sneaky little devils, pretend they are friendly, but they are just waiting for you to turn over the soil and expose a worm for them. |

Roadrunner. They really are the successors of dinosaurs. The other day at lunch we watched a male chase, grab, and kill a whip-tail lizard. It's head forward, and tail straight out back, it sprinted just like the Raptors in Jurrasic park. Six times bigger and it would have killed and eaten one of us. |

Could be an avian version of several TMPers |

House sparrow. Or duck. Preferably crispy fried with plum sauce. |
| Scorpio | 12 May 2012 5:28 a.m. PST |
The blue-footed boobie is like the mascot of TMP. I'll go with the horned owl.
|
| WarrenB | 12 May 2012 6:22 a.m. PST |
Toshach: if it was six times larger it couldn't possibly be dangerous. Why, it's got feathers! Everyone knows that feathers are too fluffy to be taken seriously, and would automatically turn a giant velociraptor-sized roadrunner into a big turkey (or possibly a chicken). Osprey? Turkey. Horned owl? Turkey. Raven? Turkey. American bald eagle boy howdy? Turkey. American wild turkey? T… umm… |
| WarrenB | 12 May 2012 6:25 a.m. PST |
In seriousness, I'd add ratites to the list. The big, flightless birds: ostriches, emus, rheas. Oddly, there's a fishery near me with a few of the latter two. A fishery in rural Northern Ireland with emus and rheas! The mind boggles. -----

nominate the Mockingbird, but not a dead one. |

chickens, fried of course, and Broad Wing Hawks that live next to my yard (they use to live next to my house but that tall pine tree was getting thin so they moved). They keep some of the varment population down |

Having been a birder for about three years now, I really like the hummers--mainly Anna's and Allen's. Altho the black phoebe is neat too.
And even in the LA urban sprawl we get raptors: American kestrel, red tailed hawk, white tailed kite, Cooper's hawk, and red shouldered hawk. |
