funny I was seeing all kinds of butterflies and thinking of when we met up
down there. Most of them were by ear. I am aging out of readly finding
birds in dense foliage. I was walking the same southernmost road where I
ran into you. probably about a mile and a half back and forth across the
metal bridge. I try to avoid Merlin till I get stumped but running it
would put you within earshot and potential photo distance.
