I’ve been writing this blog since 2012 but last early last month, I suddenly lost access to it. The other day, it just reappeared and my technical guy is helping me shore up things. In the meantime, I started writing on Substack and some of you have subscribed to that. I think I’ll use both systems but not post the same articles. So here are a few of the photos I took during the hiatus.

And lastly, a Northern Cardinal in our back yard.

If you’d like to check out and subscribe to the free Substack blog, here’s a link. Good birding.
