I have crashed by my computer, drained from the communion of adrenaline taken with Stephen Tilley -- Dr. Desmognathus ! Alone at my keyboard, swaping cyber hi-fives with Kevin Hamed. It was soooooo cool ! I know this list is about birds. Thanks for tolerating the digression. Thanks to those who drove from across the region to hear Dr. Tilley. Thanks for joining us early for dinner and car pooling the last leg. Thanks for getting off work and driving nearly an hour to meet us at the Mad Greek. Thanks for bringing the youth. I never dreamed so many of you would turn out for salamanders. Who thought you would sit in the isles, lean on the walls and carry available chairs? I never dreamed of phone calls and e-mails from the Smoky Mountains to Minnesota -- all wishing you could be with us. Dr. Tilley didn't expect so many to come hear him speak on salamanders. He said so. For those who organize the Art Array and it's Appalachian Spring Illustratred Lecture Series: That was one shining hour. Your best ever ! Thanks. Let's go birding......
