...to her on the phone, she asked after Fred!   The other Fred-S of mine are: a cat, not mine but belong to someone who always walk around town with this cat on his shoulder. A small sick bird I once saved, looked after for a few days till he was stronger then let free. And, another I found once inside my locked house!!  How he got in I had no idea, but as the house had been looked up for...

Birds: There are robins all over...close set of mixes I have for my own current personal use is the ones I did for university radio way back when.  Oh yeah, and...                                    HAPPY CANADA DAY!

I have so many photographs of a variety of birds from Rivendell, but Steller's Jays need their own post.
