Michael Shapiro's article about Red White and Blue Birds in the latest Thrasher said that his favorite color was turquoise but he didn't know of any turquoise birds. Well, I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that there are seven (Turquoise Parrot, Turquoise-throated Puffleg, Turquoise-browed Motmot, Turquoise Cotinga, Turquoise Jay, Turquoise Tanager and Turquoise Dacnis-Tanager), the bad news is none of them are in the US!
