Good luck at Jackson Bottoms- I read the north pond has the best birds right now (the one just off the highway, not near the visitor center). You should go to Fernhill too!!Jen Sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932953314258705622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-55953926575690396792012-08-19T20:53:08.229-07:002012-08-19T20:53:08.229-07:00Jeesh. You are becoming quite the social birder! G...Jeesh. You are becoming quite the social birder! Great finds today. I hope the house thing goes through. Some dry rot is to be expected around here on older homes- hopefully seller will fix or comp you and you can continue in the process. Hoping to head over to Jackson Bottoms tomorrow morning and see whats going on. It's a weird time of year for birds (except at Smith/Bybee!).Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328195758782074675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-35059190433563476852012-08-19T19:47:18.666-07:002012-08-19T19:47:18.666-07:00Ooh my first internet high five, I like it!Ooh my first internet high five, I like it!Jen Sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932953314258705622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-10878268402104628782012-08-19T19:46:54.558-07:002012-08-19T19:46:54.558-07:00Indeed, it was a most ridiculous event!

Inland Arctic Tern ...I love the days you speak of.<br /><br />Inland Arctic Tern is a GREAT bird, I've only seen one south of Alaska standing on solid land. <br />I'm glad you got to experience some fall magic, you should go to work on having kids just so you can tell them the tale of this day.Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-61320865205431305042012-08-19T16:58:04.486-07:002012-08-19T16:58:04.486-07:00Wow, Jen!
