No worries on the public critique. I'm glad you enjoy the blog. I'm trying to humanize it as much as possible. Just reading lists of birds isn't terribly interesting.Dorian Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916335753403783947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961914105467755287.post-2606282160891958432016-12-21T06:01:39.737-08:002016-12-21T06:01:39.737-08:00Hi Dorian, I followed your Biking for Birds year v...Hi Dorian, I followed your Biking for Birds year via your blog and was addicted. It was my nightly fix. Now I am following the Speckled Hatchback and enjoying it. I don't really want to leave this comment publicly but I don't know another way to communicate it. I hope no one except you reads it and I think you can also delete it. I also keep a blog, as a hobby, to put my photos in context and to practice my writing. I'm always tweaking. In this blog I think you have a small but significant word use error. You write "When Sonia's mom past ..." That should be "passed", but it would be even better if it was "passed away" and even better yet if it was "died." Agh, I can't even believe I am writing this. The up side is that at least you know someone is reading what you write. I have a personal belief that not many birders really reads blogs but only look at the photos. For my blog the writing is mostly for me and for my writing improvement. But if others read it and enjoy that's great too. I just don't think it's typical of blog readers. Finally, I'll add that a feature of your blog that I really like is that your photos are not all stunning bird photos and that you also write about the places and experiences that birding and bird photography take you - as in this entry. This is an important and overlooked feature of birding. Agh, again I am embarrassed - but fortunately blogging is not texting or tweeting. Thank you for allowing the grammar police to comment.
