Re: first Townsend

The Bush Tit pictures on Jack's site are great, better than I could do since
I use strictly a point/click type camera. I do have my camera, Tammie, I
just have no idea what's happened to the cord that plugs into the computer
to get the pictures out *sigh*
The BTs are the sweetest little birds. I always think of little fat flying
mice. They are a very soft gray color. I did get a picture of the Townsend
Warbler, I'll send it to you when I find the cord.

Yes Tammie, Christmas worked pretty good.......considering. ~snort!~
