Dear Gail,
Missed you at the PX bird club last night. Will you be there for
theMembers show-and-tell next meeting (I may have an Aussie video)? I
enjoy getting your sightings but since I am still not retired and awful
busy I haven't literally seen one warbler yet...it is an inspiration to
retire!
Cheers, Harriette
PS I did drive to the AERS meeting at VIMS last week and saw a lot of old
friends and an osprey building a nest on the water tower!
