Hi Folks

Well, I have nothing new to show you, unfortunately. However, as it seems as though I am always offering help in identifying shorebirds on this board, I thought I would just give you a good laugh and show you a window into my brain. As an avid birder (and photographer), I am constantly looking for new species, not just the most exciting species (eagles, hummers, toucans, etc). When one reaches my level of obsession, this is how the illness manifests itself......

Man, Dorian, that is really impressive. I visited a few months ago, but don't recall seeing such a complete collection!

Happy holidays and best wishes with the Tour de North America.

That's an impressive blog, Dorian.
And the best example of why I've never become a serious birder:
To me there are only four kinds of shorebirds: long legs, short legs, long beak, short beak.
My life is much simpler that way.

On the topic of capitalization: shouldn't bird species NOT be capitalized except when the name is the first word on the line or in a sentence? Well, and also if it's a proper name, i.e. American, Canada, etc.
Going on that principle- you have a couple of words that are capitalized that probably shouldn't be.
Which makes this the nit-pickiest comment of my year .
But said in the spirit of friendliness .

Oh, so fabulous! Not only a finetastic job but an excellent resource as well. I will be back many times to appreciate your efforts and see the latest captures.

Well Done Dorian!

Dorian,
I have often thought the bird posts here on FM could make on heck of a guide if assembled together as you have done on your blog. I enjoyed visiting your work and I have bookmarked it for future reference. Thanks for a beautiful effort. - RC
