Someone must be carrying a very large bird book! Good for you for being able to identify all these species. Hope you're drying out and I think it was a wise decision to leave the high heels and high costs behind you. How fun to experience the dancing and the carnival for awhile. Carry on...Rachael, we hope you're healing quickly. Love theses blogs....thanks! pc

Keep up the good work....I cant even conceive of half those things. Im out here on Midway, surrounded by albatross. They are sexy, but make bad landings. Send something exotic my away.
