I've got a long post about the Big Sit ready to rock but Blogger is not taking any digital images and, you know, my posts are NOTHING without their images.
I'll appreciate your patience while Blogger works out the kinks. I am sure someone at Google/Blogger is applying their Cheeto-stained fingers to a computer keyboard right now to solve this problem.

About Bill
- Bill of the Birds
- Bill Thompson III is the editor of Bird Watcher's Digest by day. He's also a keen birder, the author of many books, a dad, a field trip leader, an ecotourism consultant, a guitar player, the host of the "This Birding Life" podcast, a regular speaker/performer on the birding festival circuit, a gentleman farmer, and a fungi to be around. His North American life list is somewhere between 673 and 675. His favorite bird is the red-headed woodpecker. His "spark bird" was a snowy owl. He has watched birds in 25 countries and 44 states. But his favorite place to watch birds is on the 80-acre farm he shares with his wife, artist/writer Julie Zickefoose. Some kind person once called Bill "The Pied Piper of Birding" and he has been trying to live up to that moniker ever since.

"waiting for photos.blogger.com..."
Fun isn't it.
We can't be bothered with fixing blogger just so you can upload/unload/overload photos..
We are too busy today buying YouTube.
Pictures, pictures, we want pictures! Upload soon. Your readers are getting impatient!
I've been thinking, I do that occassionaly, that with your wit and charm, your bubbling personality, your turn of phrase, you might be able to blog without photos.
Well, I guess not. Sorry got carried away there.
