Emily,
Bill forwarded me your blog address and I sent it on to Zach. Really an interesting blog. Due to my advanced age, I don't spend a lot of time in the blogosphere, but I will visit your's occasionally.

I would never complain about bird photos. Really, I enjoyed watching you swing your camera around, losing sight of the flying bird as you (unfortunately) have it already zoomed in too far.
just kidding. you took some great photographs.
Wow! Birds are migrating from the northern to the southern hemisphere now and I was thinking of you in Africa (which is to Eurasia as South America is to North America). You'll be seeing fabulous quantities of migratory birds along the Nile. They tend to follow watercourses. Look up. Is there a field guide to African birds? In English?
