Hey everyone, Last bird of '09 for me was a very distant Great Horned Owl. First bird of 2010? Barred Owl in my yard at 12:04 this morning. Now to go find a Chickadee....... lol Happy Birding! --Chris W, Richland County http://swallowtailedkite.blogspot.com/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/swallowtailphoto "The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again."
