Howdy, friends. I have put up 158 headers since, I believe, the summer of 2022 and I need a break. I’m really enjoying learning about birds with you all, and I of course love hearing about how much folks are enjoying it as well. I don’t want to stop, but I need some time off. I will be back with a new bird on Saturday, December 6th. In the meantime I am happy to put up filler headers for the next few weeks so the thread can proceed as usual. If anyone is interested in writing a weekend header in the meantime, please let me know so I don’t put one up as well and make trouble. Be good to yourselves and each other, leave Mayor McSquirrel out of it, reach out to the mods if things get too real.
