Wonderful. Glad to hear that Flannery called, and that the cardinals are at your birdfeeder. The Steller's Jays are looking in at the dining room window now wondering where their peanuts are --

Kerry! I love you so for being such a fierce cheerleader. And I love your substack. Also, I am so happy to have you and Kiffin in Birmingham! Let me know if you two want to join me at some birding events. I have also felt an urgent need to name birds in my backyard. My spark bird (the one that gets you excited about naming birds) was a brown thrasher. WHAT a name. Also, my grandmother didn't smoke, but she watched soaps with her rosary beads. I recall General Hospital and another program that I sometimes wonder if I imagined called "The Edge of Night." Happy unpacking!
