Bird Neighbors
edit
- ... 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.
Created/expanded by 202.124.72.86 (talk). Nominated by Orlady (talk) at 18:44, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
Article 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.

AfD closed as keep. Date and size check out OK. CP/CV appears alright, intriguing hook confirmed by references. Good to go. - The Bushranger One ping only 16:20, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
