I also get so excited when I see a new bird, even if they're supposedly lbj's (little brown/insignificant jobs) like the Sudan Golden Sparrow /s we spotted at the temple ruins in the desert this weekend. Thanks for your visits. I love seeing you there, I look for your comment as soon as I open because it's normally the first one !
