After getting  [ Read More ]

Me with Mike Dunn of Duncraft Feeders. Part of me was geeking here because Greg Butcher a former editor of Birder’s World was taking the picture. Well I geeked out on a whole new level this weekend. As stated earlier I attended the birding trade show this weekend called Birdwatch America and met all kinds  [ Read More ]
