Whoa, Nellie!!! Hold onto your horses; this ride ain't quite over just yet! (Hey, John E, send us an updated copy of the shopping list; it's getting shorter!)

The bird of the day (you're gonna have to scan the list and figure it out yourselves <grin!> was said by Joel to be so close, "that even Harold could see it naked eye!" ..... (Harold is a fantastic local area birder whose "backyard" is Hazel Bazemore County Park, with eyes that have unfortunately grown older much faster than the rest of him. He's forgotten more about birds in his long life than a good number of us have learned already .... what a thrill that Harold was on hand to see "just one more!").

.... figured out that bird yet? Well, quit reading this and get on with scanning the list already <grin!>! .....
