Isn't it amazing how different the females can look from the males at times?????<br /><br />I read your post about not knowing much about your mother and father. You and Neal both need to talk to YOUR George (brother) more---to write down some of that information. I don't know much about my Daddy's family either. <br /><br />Hope like you had a great week/weekend.<br /><br />We are glad to be home.. It was a wonderful trip --just getting to see my son and family. BUT--the weather was horrible. Oh Well!!!!<br /><br />I'm going to check through some of your older blog posts.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-48063074461634584902009-04-22T11:09:00.000-04:002009-04-22T11:09:00.000-04:00I've been playing catch-up on my blog reading. Lo...I've been playing catch-up on my blog reading. Love all your bird photos, Rose. That strip must be bird-heaven!<br /><br />Re: reading -- I grew up with libraries, and carried out armloads even as a child; couldn't read them fast enough to suit me. I went through a phase in my 30's of reading a lot of non-fiction, but in my 'declining' years, I tend to choose fiction, British mysteries for the most part. Also, I discovered that I've quit trying to figure out who-done-it before I get to the end of the story.

As for the sandpiper-type bird, hard to tell size and other field marks, but I'd by guessing an Upland sandpiper (bill might be too long for that) or maybe one of the yellowlegs. Those marsh and shore birds can be real stumpers!Deborah Godinhttp://notesfromthecloudmessenger.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-89152550387938616182009-04-22T10:46:00.000-04:002009-04-22T10:46:00.000-04:00You are finding so many neat water birds lately.

Maybe I'm checking all the wrong spots. ;-)<br /><br />Nice shots of the red-winged blackbirds, Rose. We have tons and tons of them here in East Gwillimbury because we have many square miles of marshland covered incattails.<br /><br />By the way, I have a couple of sandpiper shots scheduled for Camera Critters on Saturday.EG CameraGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803759124643467711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-48114047613144386962009-04-22T10:34:00.000-04:002009-04-22T10:34:00.000-04:00Nice bird shots.

Where I am now... none!<br />I enjoy birds but know little about identifying them.donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11683101466651668784noreply@blogger.com
