I figured birding is acceptable on Mothers Day if you take her along.  I 
took my Mom and my sister birding this morning at one of my favorite 
places - Susquehanna State Park.  I spent a lot of time trying to get 
everyone on all of the birds.. I wish I could say I was entirely 
successful : )  Even though some species were heard-only, we had 22 
species of warblers including a Wilsons and a Tennessee (each of which 
were new for me for the park).
