The elusive Hoosier, has been around for over one hundred years and yet nobody has any idea where it came from or why it is here or even what it means.  It is the most elusive bird in the USA but even a college has named its mascot and teams after it.\n\nGo Hoosiers.......\n\nJust an addendum:  There is also the wild Euchre, which after you leave Indiana and ask people about Euchre they say they never heard of it, no colleges though.

I don't know where you are on the planet but links below have info.\n\nFirst link is to the best bird ID site - it loads well and has sound and video files - terrific for confirming ID of what you see in the field.\n\nIt's spring here in Northeast US - just saw my first Phoebe - they eat bugs, so weather is getting warmer.

Some bats commonly found in Illinois caves include the eastern pipistrell (Pipistrellus subflavus), the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), the big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus) and two federally endangered species, the Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), and the gray bat (Myotis grisescens) (learn more about the gray bat from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). Several Illinois bats are threatened or endangered at the state level.

Just about all the major ones around the area, the state of Indiana seemed to be a drop off site for undesireables around the time of federally mandated forming reservations\n\nChippewa. Representatives of this tribe appear as parties to the Treaty of Greenville in 1795 and treaties made in 1817 and 1821 by which lands in Indiana were relinquished to the Whites. (See Minnesota.)\n\nDelaware. About 1770 the Delaware, most of whom were then living in Ohio, received permission from the Miami and Piankashaw to occupy that part of Indiana between the Ohio and White Rivers, where at one period they had six villages. In course of time, all moved west of the Mississippi to Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. (See New Jersey.)\n\nErie. Erie tribal territory may once have extended into the northeastern part of the State, but this tribe played but little part in the known history of the region covered by it. (See Ohio.)\n\nIllinois. Representatives of this tribe appear as parties to the Treaty of Greenville in 1795, relinquishing land in Indiana to the Whites. (See Illinois.)\n\nIroquois. The earlier Indian occupants of Indiana were largely driven out by the Iroquois, particularly by the westernmost of the Iroquois tribes, the Seneca, yet they seem to have had few settlements in the State. (See New York.)\n\nKickapoo. When the Kickapoo were on Vermilion River, Ill., they undoubtedly occupied some of western Indiana for brief periods. (See Wisconsin.)\n\nMiami. The name is thought to be derived from the Chippewa word Omaumeg, signifying "people on the peninsula," but according to their own traditions, it came from the word for pigeon. The name used by themselves, as recorded and often used by early writers, is Twigbtwees, derived from the cry of a crane. Also called:\n\nNaked Indians, a common appellation used by the colonists, from a confusion of twanh, twanh, the cry of a crane, with tawa, "naked." \nPkíwi-léni, by the Shawnee, meaning "dust or ashes people." \nSänshkiá-a-rúnû), by the Wyandot, meaning "people dressing finely, or fantastically."\nTawatawas, meaning "naked." (See Naked Indians above.) \nWa-yä-tä-no'-ke, cited by Morgan (1851).

Basically every big island that is far enough offshore (so that birds from the mainland don't fly there much) has its own unique species. Exceptions are islands that are so small that storms roll right over them, and islands near other islands (although the group of islands usually has it own endemic species).

Mountain Blue Bird is the only thing that looks similar in my Audubon Bird Guide to the Western Region.  \n\nhttp://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?fr=FP-pull-web-t&p=Mountain%20Bluebird

The mosquito hawk is an insect that is vegetarian. They are very common in moist areas in north America.  They are quite large, almost 2 inches long.  Just a couple of days ago as I was sitting at my computer, one flew in front of my face, legs dangling right before my eyes. Startled me! They are harmless insects.  If you'd like to see a pic of one, and read more, check out this site:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_fly

Well first off there are snakes in Hawaii. At least 2 species of sea snake are found in Hawaii. There are however no native land snakes.\n\nThe reason is simply because Hawaii is a chain of islands located a long way from any other land mass. Animals that can not fly or swim very, very well simply can't make it to Hawaii.\n\nIt really is that simple.

birds can be found all over the world. It all depends on what kind of bird.

I get deer in my back yard from time to time. They eat the bark off whatever trees I try to plant.\n\n I have a hedgehog and a family of ringneck doves.  A magpie, two voles have a nest under my patio, a wren has a nest under the eave of my front porch.\n\n An owl did live in my back yard but the tree was 300 years old and fell down a few years ago. The owl moved to the woods behind my house. I still hear him hunting at night.\n\nLast spring, I saw a wild boar at dawn but that was only once.\n\nFunny thing is, I live about 20 minutes from the middle of downtown (city of 500,000). Wild, huh?
