Really great photos and layout. Makes me almost want to touch a bird. This does a great job of showing what you all are doing up there. Keep up the great work.

Hey Daisy, thanks for sending the link to your blog. I look forward to reading all about your experiences in NY. It sounds like things are going well so far so I hope that you keep enjoying yourself and that you learn a ton. I am sorry that I am not there to jam some Neil tunes. Please say hi to Ken, Kara, Quinn, Janice, Samantha and anyone else there that would like to hear from me. Have fun and take care.
