Long time, no talk

It has been a long time since I've been here.  Lots of stuff has happened since then.  The main reason for not posting is that now I have a 14 month old son and he keeps me busy, busy, busy. 



I have been birding, of course.  We went to Florida in January for the Space Coast Birding Festival.  The 3 of us had a great time.  I have a little birder on my hands!

Anyway, I'm going to try to get back to this as much as possible.  Writing about my birding adventures is very therapeutic. 

Talk with you later!
