I know work frustrates you at times, but when you look back over all you have done this past year you must see that you have led a very adventurous life! <br /><br />I crack up every-time I think of you on the Mt. Washington Road. I am so glad you came to Maine and I do hope you come back again. we have more birds to find, though if you want to see a Puffin again, you will have to go by yourself! I am through with boats!<br /><br />These photos are fantastic. I love the shots of Gunnison. You remind me what a beautiful place the Rocky Mountains are! The truth is, I love it all and I do not know where I would chose to live if given the chance! <br /><br />Good luck with your new year and your new adventures. I hope I can make it back to AZ and we can bird together once again!<br />Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-28836762404561563632015-01-08T10:14:44.026-07:002015-01-08T10:14:44.026-07:00Oh Chris...what an amazing year it was! Number 2 ...Oh Chris...what an amazing year it was! Number 2 in AZ is a big deal! And all the moments you had, good and not-so-good, that you shared with all of us, are priceless! The memories have to be so special, and you can look back on the photos for always and enjoy it all over and over. LOVE the Florida Scrub-Jay on your head. He knew a bird lover when he saw you! :-) I enjoy your blog so much, and wish that one day we could meet, if only briefly. I know how full your life is, and we who are mostly armchair birders would hold you back, but I have so much respect for you! A visit to your blog brightens my whole day! And I have learned so much about what is here in S AZ too. Thanks for everything!A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-60315093675292778362015-01-08T10:03:37.812-07:002015-01-08T10:03:37.812-07:00hahhaha.... oh, Chris.... you are very funny to re...hahhaha.... oh, Chris.... you are very funny to read..... love it...

There are a bunch of regulars in my neighbourhood... they are raiding the suet feeder today ....although, I don't begrudge them when there is a foot of snow on the ground and the temperature is dipping to -25C .... <br /><br />The other day they were several of them chasing a big owl ....... but, I suppose if it wasn't for the noise...I wouldn't have looked up and would not have noticed the big owl...... which I managed to get a fuzzy photo of by the way...a first for me.... so ... alright....thank you Messers Magpies.....BumbleVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272892605379537233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-36464512981589510452015-01-07T21:19:03.019-07:002015-01-07T21:19:03.019-07:00Happy New Year Chris.

You can barely see them but you can feel these teeny bugs. I'm not sure if black flies, no-see-ems and chiggers are the same bug/evil but if one itches where they bite, it makes it worse. They like hot, humid, and wet areas like beaches, streams or wet grasses. Once they get in your clothes, it's over. I actually have a ridiculous mesh net that goes over my head but I didn't wear it on that day!!!!! When I saw others with it, I knew it was over for me:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-72552440029409093392015-01-07T08:00:41.560-07:002015-01-07T08:00:41.560-07:00First question Chris, what are 'chiggers' ...First question Chris, what are 'chiggers' :) It was a good year for you, I'm sure this year will be even better.<br />PerthDailyPhotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077053209100022305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-64796244152009034602015-01-07T03:54:35.390-07:002015-01-07T03:54:35.390-07:00A wonderful post Chris with some amazing images - ...A wonderful post Chris with some amazing images - what a great birding year you have had.

I loved reading about the highlights and the low lights. I have to say I have never driven up Mount Washington but I have climbed it (a few years ago)...and I agree that some of the people up there are quite obnoxious. But at least you found a bird for your list. I wish I'd been a birder when I was there!
