Back from long absence!

[peggy]

Well, I've been away for almost a year; I had some health problems to get through last year, then joined local birding association, and that seemed to take up all my discretionary time!  But I missed you all and finally took time this morning to find the site again and my password and get back on!  Trying to catch up on all the postings I've missed...that will take a while!

Welcome back, Peggy!

Welcome back, Peggy! Glad you're feeling better!

So does this birding group go on field trips? That really sounds like fun.

Peggy, welcome back to the Forum!

Yes, the Rochester Birding Assoc. hosts many field trips and I've gone on a number of them. Especially ones to fields, since I don't get any of the field birds in my yard. Plus I've seen a lot of warblers on field trips that I don't get either (or don't recognize what they are)! So the local birding assoc. answers all my local bird ID questions and I'm learning a lot from some of the experts. But the great thing about this forum is the contact with birders and birds from all over the country...love knowing what is going on in other areas, and about birds that I don't get here! So I intend to get on here more often again!

Glad to see your are back Peggy.  Looking forward to your posts and pictures. 

Hope you are now well, & your health problems are behind you.

Take care,
