Now he loves birds and often points out a bird to me he doesn't yet know. I got him 3X binoculars and he is good for up to an hour of sitting in a blind and watching birds. He loves to look in a bird book and match the pictures to what he is seeing. And her recognizes the songs of our yard birds. <BR/><BR/>And I used to have an outdoor club of inner city children. One of them wrote me a thank you note for an outing that included a 2 hour bird walk with binoculars and said "you have set my eyes on birds". That's the best thing anyone has every said about me. <BR/><BR/>I just wish each birder would adopt one or more kids and take them birding regularly. <BR/><BR/>Marilyn KircusMarilynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15014565704792020948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-12940098056576693192008-06-21T23:06:00.000-05:002008-06-21T23:06:00.000-05:00S'okay, Julie.

And wasn't little Chloe Block a dear? She had definitely done her homework before birding with Bill Thompson. I loved the ending. After listing his other accomplishments, he is labeled as the husband of Julie Zickefoose.NCmountainwomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-17073096710595072482008-06-20T09:14:00.000-05:002008-06-20T09:14:00.000-05:00You know, I was going to say--what's with the wrong color shirt--but, then, you answered it.<BR/>Love the description of Liam--every cell active at all times.KGMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-78682656147016710272008-06-20T08:14:00.000-05:002008-06-20T08:14:00.000-05:00Glad you're all happy!
