		<description>Hi Craig,

Never feel bad for a photo heavy blog.  Some people like blogs with lots of text, other&#039;s don&#039;t.  I Myself tend to go for blogs with more photos than text.  I love yours (even if I don&#039;t comment).</description>

		<description>Neat post.  Like the &quot;Fame&quot; reference, and the photo that went with it.  And yeah, he does look like Hannibal with that cigar.  

I&#039;d known that Snipes were real birds, but I thought they weren&#039;t found in North America.  

And I&#039;m glad that I&#039;ve found a blog that&#039;s even more photo-heavy than mine; I don&#039;t feel so bad.</description>

		<description>Yet another adventure I missed when I had to leave the MBS to dash home for work.

Note to self:  NEVER let earning a living take precedence over birding.</description>

		<description>Thanks for sharing this great post with gorgeous photos of the shorebirds of Ottawa NWR and a profile of Ohio&#039;s banding, birding, big-sitting Tom Bartlett.</description>

		<description>I would love to attend a shorebird banding session.  It looks like much fun, not to mention potentially muddy!</description>

		<description>Ooo, I love bird in the hand photos. I&#039;m horrible at judging size and always think birds are mammoth when they are in fact wee. That snipe is so pretty and it&#039;s eyes are huge! That bill action, especially the worm pulling, is quite interesting. Reminds me of a jewelry saw blade. 

Thanks for pointing out those webbed feet, I always wondered what semipalmated meant. There is nothing more annoying then when the feature a bird is named for is in fact not easily, if ever, able to be viewed in the field. 

Although once, I did get to see a eastern kingbird&#039;s red forehead patch and was completely shocked. I had never known it had one, so I guess having interesting features in the name as least lets you know it&#039;s there, even if you don&#039;t ever see it.</description>
