I accidentally deleted my Facebook personal
account a couple of weeks ago. Does anyone have any idea how I can recover it?

Saturday, July 20, and I went in search of Least Tern activity at Opal Beach. It was apparent that the recent over-washing along Fort Pickens Road (again!) had seriously disturbed the chick population there. So I was hopeful that the area around Opal Beach (being a bit higher) might have fared better. I only spotted one fur-ball chick, and a couple that had already fledged. [ 122 more words ]

Since I'm (we're) not in Florida for a few months, I've had to figure out another way to enjoy taking pictures of birds. And since Jerri's apartment has a wonderful porch where we can sit with our coffee in the morning and drinks in the afternoon, this has become my shooting perch. (By the way, we're in Wayne, PA - a beautiful community just west of Philadelphia.) [ 163 more words ]

I haven't had time to post much lately. But I HAVE been able to get out and take some pretty neat photos. So, since I still don't have the time or inclination to write much, here's a collection of imagehown up in the past month.. Call 'em "pretty birdie shots." Green Anole on a cactus next to the trail (obviously, NOT one of the pretty birdies) [ 121 more words ]

Finally! It appears that Big Mama (I'm pretty sure it's her now) has found a mate. Or maybe it's the old guy from last year. But this one looks very young and very earnest, and determined to please her. Today (Sunday, 3.31) was very cool and windy. But they were sticking together and very friendly. I'll have to tell the whole story later, but here's a shot of the pair. [ 66 more words ]

This'll be a short post. The other morning, as I was walking into the Veterans Clinic in Pensacola, I glanced over to a flower bed just before I got to the door. The VERY early morning light was just raking across the flowers, and this particular one caught my eye. Luckily, I had my latest camera purchase ($20 at a local pawn shop!) in my pocket, so I decided to snap a pic before losing that wonderful warm sunlight. [ 29 more words ]

I don’t have a picture of him to show you, but the best part of my birding adventure today was a young man whose name is Arash. He’s from Orlando. But the most important thing was - he’s just completed walking the entire lenght of the Florida Trail. All 1000 miles of it! We passed each other on the bike trail, very near Turtle Bridge, and nodded, then continued on our way. 622 more words [ 623 more words ]
