From all of us to all of you. Hoping and praying for a happier year than the last two, although perhaps that is arrogant and delusional.
Meanwhile, first bird for 2022 was a Canada Goose, as was the last bird for 2021. Not surprising I suppose with the thousands plying the air up and down the valley, flying from the river to the cornfields and back every day.
Today begins a new slate for bird listing. Will I see anything cool today? Or tomorrow?
Will I get to go gull glancing? Checking the big flocks down on the river for anything unusual mixed in with the big three...Great Black-backed Gulls, Herring Gulls and Ring-billed Gulls?
Only the Shadow knows.
Anyhow, have a great day, a great year, all the best from us to you.
All our good wishes for the New Year Marianne. Like you . . . I find myself struggling to feel highly optimistic . . . but Hope springs eternal. Happy Birding!
ReplyDeleteI surely do hope you have a better year.
ReplyDeleteIt was tough on so many levels.
Cathy, thank you and Happy New Year to you and Keith. It is a real struggle to stay even a little bit positive these days, but we owe it to ourselves to find all the joy we can in this life. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteShirley, thank you. It was. Hope you have a wonderful year!
