Title: Mistaken identity
Post by: stinkpickle on April 30, 2016, 01:56:50 PM
When I first glassed this bird last week, I swore he was double bearded.  I found out yesterday morning that wasn't the case.  He just likes to part it.   ;)

But it does kind of look like a double beard, that's neat...

Congratulations on being able to personally inspect his whiskers. Is he an Eastern?

Yep, he was a Missouri eastern.

If he had just used Brylcream he would still be with us... :TooFunny:

LOL!  It's quite possible.  He would run around with four other longbeards, and they'd terrorize every other bird on that farm and the neighboring ones.  I targeted him specifically because I thought he had two beards (plus he was a bit of loudmouth).  Had he used Brylcream, I might've shot one of his buddies, instead.  ;)

Nice work.  I'm glad you used the old redneck theory of in in doubt shoot it and find out.
