Hi Diane,
Dolly gave me your website address a month or so ago, and I've just been catching up on your blog entries for your Big Year. You and Susan are having some wonderful adventures, seeing lots of birds, and drinking a lot of wine! ...sounds like fun, and you've still got 9 months to go!
I'm so impressed by your excellent photos...the one of the Barrow's and Common Goldeneyes side-by-side is great, sho wing the differences, even the steeper forehead of the Barrow's
Spring is coming, and then you'll really be busy! Good luck with your Big Year Diane!
