Bird Neighbors

 * ... that Neltje Blanchan's 1897 book Bird Neighbors used photographs of stuffed birds (red-winged blackbird pictured) because contemporary cameras could not take good photographs of real ones?
 * Comment: The anonymous article expander posted a request for a DYK nom on the DYK talk page. Article is currently at AfD.

 * Symbol question.svgle is big enough, expanded enough, expander changed IPs a few times though, so either we pick the latest or use a name nominated. Article is within policy with no plagiarism detected. Hook is interesting, confirmed by a reference, and reference confirms the facts. Image is public domain based on age and location of publication.  We just have to await AFD rejection. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:00, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The AFD closed as "Keep". --Orlady (talk) 17:16, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
