I think kingfishers are cool birds. <BR/><BR/>Lynne- I consider you to be a very good friend, especially after this weekend's adventure. Here's to many more adventures together! <BR/><BR/>FC- Good to see you checking in. Yes, the day was adventurous enough, and filled with the novelty of new birds, that I did feel very much alive. I've only gotten to know the local birding community recently, through the Christmas Bird Count and this trip, and I have to say, they are some of the nicest people I've met. <BR/><BR/>The kids want to go Halloween costume shopping on Saturday, and I'm thinking of making it contingent on them driving out to Park Point with me for a quick look.

In that order.

My father in law went through more that I can ever imagine...he has never wanted to talk about it, and probably never will. But I thank him. <BR/><BR/>RuthieJ- I am very much a "gulls are gulls" person. But just seeing that one, knowing it was different...that was special!<BR/><BR/>Cindy- it was way cool.

You and Lynne had a great adventure. I think adventures, especially heart-pumping adventures are good for what ails you. As I told Lynne, I think the two of you are kindred spirits.

I've often wondered what it must be like when there's big waves along the North Shore.<BR/><BR/>I've seen the listing of the Sabine's Gull on the weekly MOU rare bird e-mail I receive.
