re:WoW! What a day birding for me! - 2006/12/13 02:23 Hey Tammie where you beeeeeen? Oh men I had such a great time...never hadrly get out and do anytthin and when I finaly do, nothin seems bettrer then undoubtedly hasnging around with a bunch of bird-nerds I learn so much about field marks, subtle differences, and behaviors that make it easy to determine one speceis from another.

My absolute favorite were the two skimers, I don't know why, they have fascinated me so after seein them on David Attenburtough's (sp?) Meanwhile "Life of
Birds" documentary.

I am reaslly lackin when it comes to ID-ing the shorebirds - and sparrows - okay and hawks in flight - and well a lot of other ones too!

Best wishes to you!
