I am a reader; I like to research, I enjoy reference books…especially on topics close to my heart. I don’t believe one can have too many books on a subject…but then I am book rich and money poor. LOL Okay, so I’m on a limited budget…I have a couple books on birds and know I want to enlarge my library. I think another ‘general’ field guide to birds I’m apt to see might be a good idea.

I hurried out the door; we got as far as the end of my block when we realized I’d forgotten my Sibley’s…they graciously insisted we turn around so I could retrieve the field guide and we were off on our adventure. Two of us had never been ‘birding’ before, so we were quite excited. We were to meet up with the AVAS group and their 4th Saturday Birdwalk at the Greenwa… Continue

Generally, I blog about birds here: ...but I wanted to share this little article I ran across today: Osprey lays record 50th egg amid tight security SCOTLAND'S oldest breeding osprey yesterday produced a record 50th egg. The egg is also the first to be produced by an osprey in Scotland this year. Staff at the Scottish Wildlife Trust's Loch of the Lowes reserve near Dunkeld, Perth-shire, were delighted when the resident female laid the eg… Continue
