I'm leaving Sunday morning for two weeks to go to Arkansas. I won't be able to update my blog while in the swamp, so I'm excited to announce that Julie Zickefoose is taking over my blog in my absence. Many know her from her artwork and articles in Bird Watcher's Digest. She also has her own website at www.juliezickefoose.com. She officially takes over on Monday but she's put in a few test posts this week, some including some of her latest artwork and sketches.
Hope there are great birds in Minnesota while I'm gone! Sharon Stiteler Minneapolis, MN www.birdchick.com Bird/Wildlife Observation Specialist for www.eagleoptics.com
