Hi all-- I just wanted to pop in one more time to thank everyone for their lovely notes and shared memories (mostly sent directly to me) of birding in Jamaica Bay and across NYC over the years. Everyone has an "origin story" for their love of birds and nature, and I wish we could all be in a room (no, a park!) swapping ours.
Thanks again for welcoming and reading my little piece, and for being so open in return. --Joe On Tue, Jun 22, 2021 at 5:17 PM Joseph Wallace <joew...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all-- For a couple of years I've been writing short pieces on birds, > nature in general, and the environment for the wonderful Saw Mill River > Audubon.
