This newsletter will be short since it contains only a few bird photos from among the many that accumulated in my files\u00a0since last winter.\u00a0 I just dumped 21,000 files from the recycle bin, so\u00a0now you know\u00a0\u00a0there can’t be many keepers left\u00a0to pick from.\u00a0 Nevertheless, these were a joy to capture.<\/p>\n
