The fastly darting, never stopping, only pausing, on the forest fringe, insect eating, not quite a warbler, not quite a gnatcatcher, relatively non-descript feathered beasie is none other than a House Wren who apparently is discovering new places to dine. It even flew up to check out the jelly feeder this morning and I didn't even need my binoculars.
Thank you for all the responses, suggesting, observations to elevate my distribution skills, and general connectedness I always feel towards this community. I get you all really care and are oh so willing to share. On a more personal oberservation, I was amazed at myself on a few of the responses. I found myself in reaction to some - like they might be negative or hurtful - so I bounced them off my wife and daughter. Neither one read the same thing into them. They thought they were neutral and informative and actually caring. So I affirm that every posting, every response, every verbal interaction or electronic interaction is sent with neutral-to-caring intent and any reaction to any words is simply my historical stuff coming up. Given my family of origin experiences and the struggles we went through, I guess I have a lot or reaction available to me if I choose to let it color what I am reading. Everything is a neutral event, it is me that brings energy into it. Thank you all for your willingness to share and care. Thomas Maiello Angel Environmental Management, Inc. Maple Grove, MN
