That is so amazing! I love it with the pine cones. How unusual. I saw a blue heron just the other day, but very foggy outside.

Your impressive photos can easily draw people to view them. Some of those people may never have seen your spotting ever. Some may know little about it. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could help others both see and learn from your spottings? Thanks again.
