Hi David
Thanks for that i.d. and your kind thoughts. My instinct said Sharpie, but
I didn't totally trust it. Why a Female? Because it's fairly large as
Sharpies go?
As for "being there"- just luck, most of the time. And, I guess,
willingness to haul a camera around whereever I go, just in case. I think I
owe the birding community a lot, as I would never have known where and how
to look without the constant ebird/uvbirders/vt bir/nh/bird and individual
flow of information and all the bird walks I've been on. I am very glad to
have the opportunity to have access to your expertise!
