Beth, my friend always sees the Elegant Trogen, every time she is there. I have never seen it! Darn. Lyn

They had supposedly left wintering grounds at Patagonia Lake and they summer supposedly at Madera Canyon. I didn't see one either place. But I was looking.

Beth, what kind of camera do you use? You get some fabulous close ups of the birds. Thanks for sharing them all.

Velda, I use a Kodak Easy Share. Upgraded a couple years ago from one to the one currently using. Will eventually upgrade again to one with even more zoom ( then I can get the closeups Liz gets). If you want the model number, key me know. Don't have the camera with me right now.

Thanks Beth. It sure does take good photos. Of course the photographer has a lot to do with that!

Ha Ha , you are so modest. It does take a good eye to catch birds and other scenery and you do a good job.

Velda, I will admit I'm pretty good at finding birds and wildlife. I find many more than I'm able to get pictures of.

Tina, there's a part of me looking forward to working, and another part saying, what? At the audiologist now. At least I know I'll leave with very clean aids. That's already done.
