My hat's off to Dave also. Those of us that bird regularly with Dave know that he's always up for the challenge and excitement of birding, ready and willing to share what he learns with everyone.

Dave would probably be the only one to deny that, but the rest of us are richer because of his daily reports of the birds in the Basin. So to his complete embarrassment, I would like to say Thankyou to you Dave on behalf of all the Basin birders. We are all better birders because of you. Of much less importance, the Redpolls finally showed up between the lakes. We had 18 of them at the feeders this a.m. about an hour ago. Had a Flicker also.
