2015 Bird Count

[Catherine]

You have never seen snow?
It is exciting when you see it for the first time. It is even exciting when you see it for the first time in the fall/winter. After months on nothing but white, the novelty wears off.
I envy you seeing it for the first time.

I saw the Pine Grosbeak for the first time last fall. I knew what it was right away and that was a special moment. I just know I will spot it soon since it is around my neighbourhood. All the trees we planted have paid off.

That is a beautiful gull. I have never seen one like it.
