  2. You are very devoted, or completely obsessed. I love it! I wish I had your passion and commitment to the birds. After my recent Texas lifers, I get even more excited on your bird outings. Thanks!

  6. Hi Kathie. I have at long last caught up with your recent exploits.

    Whow what a grand time you had in NY and I so enjoyed the tour of buildings, statutes and of course the people. Great to see how your local State lists are growing.

    Is listing an obsessive thing?

  7. I admire your dedication to "listing" Kathie. You are squared away lady! What great birds you have seen. Plenty more out there!

  8. Denise, thank you! I hope you had a great weekend too!

    Gaelyn, I guess I am obsessed! But I feel my obsession is helping the birds so I just go with it!

    Celeste, no it hasn't but it's been a bit dull around here seeing all the same species all the time. However, life is starting to get exciting again! The snow has melted so I can finally get outside and migration has begun!

    Julie, you know it!

    Troutbirder, Minnesota is on my wish list! I was there once but I only crossed over the border from Forest City, Iowa and I think I failed to record the birds I saw!

    Frank, it has become that for me I think, but I have fun with it. It is a way for me to track where I have been and what I have seen. It is a game I play with myself. I am not competing against anyone, I just like to see where I have been and what I have seen. Each list is a memory of a day and a place.

    Donna, I know you have seen more than me and in more places than I have been! I hope we can go together again sometime. I really want you to show me those Rosy finches!

Welcome to my nest! I hope you will enjoy spending time here with me and the birds. Thank you for your comments. I will try to get back to you as soon as I get back from counting more birds.
