The lesser has me intrigued these days because this summer I have been enjoying so many of the 'little guys' at my nyger bags. I am really looking forward to reading "Metal Cowboy" and may take it with me on my trip to Wyoming this weekend. I really should read 'birding basics' because I know very little about birds, I am really a classic 'backyard' birder. And Lance, I will save that for a day where I can pop a dvd in and enjoy. Thank you again. Your note was very personal and thank you again for taking the time to write it.
You are so very welcome, sbctwin! I was a little worried that you might have so many birding books but to hear that you are a 'backyard' birder really puts me at ease and I hope that I gave you some books that will help you become a 'serious' birder. We have a lot of those chickadees and goldfinches in the area and especially in my neighborhood because many people have bird feeders outside. I have some pictures I took of the birds that I wanted to send you but I wanted to get it to you by the end of the month. I really hope you enjoy "Metal Cowboy" as I have. I'm so glad to hear that all my gifts were well-received and right on time. Enjoy!
