Great thread, Allison.
Whoppin' bird, Al! You lucky duck. I have only seen one once in my whole life.

I love watching the migrating birds return each year. I mark the date on the calendar when I first see them. It may not be the exact day that they return, but it's fun to do. My grands are all amazed, and even the teens will rush to me and have me go see a bird that they can't identify to see if I can tell them what it is.

I've been keeping loose records of our birds for about a decade now, so I have a lot of info stored up. I keep thinking that one day, the interest I show in birds will be reborn in one of the grands and they can take the hobby even further than do I.
