So I think I' m experiencing a solar flare this morning. I'm going to have one if this device that makes my life "so easy" keeps on correcting every scientific word. AI stands for artificial idiot also. Maybe it's a time warp. I have those all the time.

We should thank our fearless leader of this forum. Edge Wade. She tip toes thru the mine fields of ego on a regular basis. What she mutters after, we cannot hear. (WINK -know how you love those). There are experts, old experts of expired science and some that consider themselves experts. And some strictly opinionated. Please, this not the forum for you.

She also is a great ego booster for those of us that need help. Many readers do the same. Thank you also. You never feel as dumb when other members of our flock chime in.

A thanks to all the volunteer geeks that pull us out of digital quicksand. Be they fruity. Or robot huggers. Ironically, because they understand it all, they can't imagine how we wander in the woods compassless.

May all of you find a new birder and coach them thru the early overwhelming start of birding. They think we know everything HA!

You 'll have a blast,

Catherine Paris
