The Grebes are so graceful and their courtship dance is amazing. I saw a couple on Loch Lomond but didn't get a shot.<br />Keep the posts coming, I love them and miss them when you're not able to post.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047342243577979820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-28353255861398138702018-05-29T08:30:07.377-04:002018-05-29T08:30:07.377-04:00Thanks Jen, I have high hopes, if I don't it w...Thanks Jen, I have high hopes, if I don't it won't be from lack of trying!

That made you so happy. They have beautiful coloring and markings. If it weren't for you I would never see half the birds you find and share with us.

Those burrowing owls are so nice since they are not nocturnal -- that means even old ladies like me can find them (actually I can't believe I didn't post any of our Cape Coral burrowing owl colony this season). It was a great trip for you -- all those birds, three lifers! You are the best birder I know.<br />And post as often as you want; as long as you don't mind me commenting on more than one post like I do sometimes when I get behind reading. I never want to miss any of your posts and they are always worth a comment!! Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.com
