Let's be honest though many have moved away from this group. And if keeping it together will be a chore. Perhaps it's time to bid farewell and following seas.<br /><br /><br />Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233754448811631284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37313309.post-86550661559841895912014-05-16T02:37:48.052+00:002014-05-16T02:37:48.052+00:00Aunty,

The depth and speed of thought throughout the members of the group is what impressed me most. I believe it's what held the group together for so long. Likely to the detriment of many pocketbooks. Still I miss you folks. <br /><br />I think the book would be a great idea. However I don't know a thing about doing it. You and Czar would be the experts in the field. If you really think it's a possibility, I would be interested in how to start.<br /><br />Señora, the most interesting man alive? He is the one you hold in your hand and hold in your heart. Give SB my best.<br /><br />Serendipity: Not me, it's us.<br /><br />I don't have any official records. Just going off personal recollection. Still to have the diving ducks and the Osprey at the same time is odd. Bufflehead, Canvas Back and Lesser Scaup are no match for a hungry Osprey. <br />Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233754448811631284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37313309.post-11973836824557465962014-05-09T06:40:07.410+00:002014-05-09T06:40:07.410+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37313309.post-33670557982763168312014-05-09T01:42:49.584+00:002014-05-09T01:42:49.584+00:00Hi Karl,

Boxer, happy to know you are still around. Chickory, I can see how you needed the blog-break.<br /><br />Karl, according to a decade of records here, migrations are within the norm. I believe leaf-out and first blooms are also in the general windows. We have had spring snow the last 2 mornings, but I have a few tulips open, the iris have a few flower shoots up next to the warm foundation, and the peonies are insisting they will sprout despite dips below freezing.<br /><br />Our ospreys have been around for at least 3 weeks. The divers have moved on - we get a lot of western grebes in one reservoir.<br /><br />Today saw a flock of about 150 white-faced ibis. I see them rarely, only in spring. I'll have to dig through records to see when they are "normally" here!<br /><br />Serendipity<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
