After two weeks in Menorca including disproportinate amounts of time birding as Sue tagged along, a promise to paint the lounge walls a delicate shade of magnolia was a small price to pay. Often such an undertaking might be forgotten, especially after a glass or three of vino tinto, but not on this occasion. Very soon I will have the necessary stamps in my permit and will return to birding with your expert advice on a birder's commitment ringing in my ears.

My Florida neighbor who is now at her summer home in Illinois called the other day to say she had seen one on her walk there -- a very rare sighting for that area apparently. She was so excited! I don't blame her -- these beauties are enough to delight anyone!!

Staying with friends in 4 different places and time is limited as we have a garden at home that will be growing like mad with summer! Travel is also not easy for us, my husband has periphal neuropathy and cannot sit with legs bent for more than an hour or so at a time, this means expensive travelling!!!! It would though be great to have come up your way.Thanks for the offer to show me 'your' birds.
