I just landed in sunny Florida for the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival! Special thanks to Kevin Loughlin and Wildside Nature Tours for bringing me down to lead field trips here for the next 5 days! So much FUN! I can’t wait!
Looking forward to seeing some great birds and meeting and reconnecting with lots of fun and exciting people on this first out-of-state trip for my ‘Mom’s Big Year’!
No… Sorry my dear friends.. I am not one of the lucky Powerball winners.. (But if you are.. please remember how much I do love y’all!)
Yesterday, I felt like I did win though… all $1.5 billion.
Well, almost. 😛 Continue reading
I bought this stone last spring, just after the Mom’s Big Year seed had been planted during a fun and inspiring conversation with Greg Miller*. I had time on my hands at that point.. enough time to pick this stone up and put it down 7 times before I finally decided to treat myself and buy it. Since then, my ‘Imagine’ stone has fueled dreams of flying off to far away and exciting places all over the country to see rare birds and equally exciting people.
I no longer have the luxury of extra time, as this week I begin prep for my first big trip of Mom’s Big Year. Now everything is kicking into gear.
All. At. Once.
Happy New Year! Wishing you all peace, health and joy in 2016!
It’s been a great start to Mom’s Big Year so far!
I kicked off January 1st doing what I’ll be doing a LOT of this year… …..Birding! (Just writing that puts a *huge* smile on my face.)
I joined 18 members of our local bird club at my favorite local spot, The Howard County Conservancy at Mt. Pleasant. Since Friday, a couple of exciting birds have appeared on the scene at various local hotspots, including a Ross’s Goose and a Redhead Duck- both unusual for our area! Check out the barred owl too!
