And, thrown into the bird world on my own, and consulting my library of sources, I can manage--slowly.<br />But, the subtle sounds barely heard, the blush on a feather, thickness of a wing I'd certainly miss.<br />I need a lifetime of field time to catch up. To be between these 3, Julie, BT3 and Jim McCormac, was awesome!<br /><br />Laura--This group grew as the day warmed and included some young people, as well. Sharing your passion with the next generation, giving them a leg up--what better way to ensure an interest will grow.nina at Nature Remains.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07888238636692649668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-50635357239349259372009-10-13T08:38:30.285-04:002009-10-13T08:38:30.285-04:00What a grand day you had.What a grand day you had.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-88493716266945088902009-10-13T07:25:22.219-04:002009-10-13T07:25:22.219-04:00What a beautiful idea and to share knowledge - is ...What a beautiful idea and to share knowledge - is anything greater?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, Nina!Laure Ferlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966163843633158039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-76023617404177975102009-10-13T05:06:30.257-04:002009-10-13T05:06:30.257-04:00So, so beautiful.

I sat in a circle alone (glorious in its own way) in a one of the most beautiful swaths of scenery I've ever laid eyes on and ID'd 18 birds on my very own. Shhh.
