Made me feel peaceful and patient myself, just imagining your backyard full of growing things and bunnies and birds. ('Course, the bunnies are going to eat some of your growing things, but that's okay, too).<br /><br />My husband is a low-key bird-watcher, so I've picked up a very small amount of birding knowledge. At the Wild Bird Center in Boulder some years ago I bought a really good software program called "Thayer Birding Software's Birds of North America, Users' Guide." (http://www.birding.com.) My version's old enough that it wanted Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT. But it's a great program, and has bird sounds/calls as well as pictures. If you haven't found other resources by the next time I see you, I'll check at the Wild Bird Center here and see if they have newer versions. I'd love to gift you with the software. It's also very possible that Cornell University (a very big authority in terms of birds) has audios you can download to an i-Pod.<br /><br />I'm going to amend my daily prayers for you to include the wish for the continued presence of that lovely peace and patience. And know that we continue to pray for you every week at EfM Thursday evenings and at church every Sunday morning.<br /><br />-- SelenaSelenanoreply@blogger.com
