My opinion is that the blue-throated bird on today's Google Doodle exists only in the mind of the Google Doodler.  He may be purposely taking after John James Audubon, who they say often stretched the truth.  See the accompanying link about the so-called Carbonated Swamp-Warbler.

By the way, if you really want to confuse your fellow birders, start calling birds by the names Audubon originally used.  You can find all 435 paintings of "The Birds of America" with their names here.

Sure are a lot of Prairie Starlings around!
