Thanks, Margaret.
Same sort of weather here.
Sue's and Caroline's weather will come!
Another common interest between David Tomlinson and folk here.
He may be very accomplished in the gardening (hands-on and landscape designer) and ecology areas (city planner/environmental engineer),
but his first love has always been birds.
I proof read a manuscript: he went into gardening to be around birds, Merlin's Hollow is named for the hawk, he's been responsible for organizing bird boxes
in public wild areas in town and he's doing field research on bird habitats in the face of urban development of the Oak Ridges Moraine (where we live).
Latter: it's the meadow birds that are in trouble, not the wetland birds.
We just feed the birds when we return from Florida.
And (oh dear) I only eat birds and fish; namely, not my fellow mammals.
