Earley that has proven to be very helpful. There are 3 other books by the same author, "Sparrows & Finches", "Warblers" and "Hawks & Owls". I highly recommend them.Brightceterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04315996303259692721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322094314754732537.post-63943876818489627482012-10-29T17:11:22.417-07:002012-10-29T17:11:22.417-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brightceterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04315996303259692721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322094314754732537.post-8875608735683578452012-04-20T11:27:22.207-07:002012-04-20T11:27:22.207-07:00I was reluctant to leave!

A slight movement changes focus a lot. Congrats on another life bird.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218323136874256521noreply@blogger.com
