Greetings! At least the picture made me. First my dad calls from *Florida *with the news that it is 72 degrees down there. Then he tells me that they were at McDonalds in Viera, Florida, and there were Sandhill Cranes in the Parking lot! Then he sends me a picture. He told me that he had to back up to get it all in the frame. So I send it to you: http://picasaweb.google.com/rjonesrb/FL1172010#5427880499361792882 (hopefully it will let you see it, I have never posted from Picasa before.) Now doesn't that make you sick! Why won't they get that close here?! That's does it, I'm going to Viera next year! :-D There are other pictures in that album that will make you equally as ill. Feel free to look if you can. As far as birds here go, nothing new here. This has been a month of teaching my five year old the difference between a nuthatch and a chick-a-dee. I'll see you out there. Steve Jones (a.k.a. sjlarue) Matthew 6:25-27 (New International Version) Do Not Worry 25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
