Hi Stacy!
Are you staying warm and cozy? Weather is supposed to be in single digits at night here next week. Our Rufous Hummer at BSBO is still hanging around. Amazing!
Have you figured out where my “story” might fit yet? I hope I haven’t missed it. I’ve been busy editing the Ohio Winter Bird Atlas, one of BSBO’s projects. We hope to have it published by spring.
Looking forward to staying in touch.
Take care….Karen Zach

“just call me Marilyn Monroe!!”
won’t be going back to that hair salon again!!
Last night,I was musing about the Blowing in the Wind photo and came up with these ideas:
1. “ALL the hatchlings have ADHD!”
2. “I flew right through the fireworks display, …ouchie!.”
3. “Eileen, I think I sat on your wire a little too long.”
4.”I’m back from my FDA meeting!!!”(Feather Dusters Anonymous)
5.”Ever had one of those ‘rough’ sneezes?
6.”The egg laying was quite the ‘fireworks’ this season.”
Blowing in the wind:
One more: “I’t's just topsy turvy ‘bed head’ “
1. “Do you like my legs???”
2. “Like my Tutu?”
“Mamma told me not to put my beak in the socket”
“Will I be America’s next top bird model?”
(This is fun!)
