That is just incredibly cool. I'm so jealous of the wild birdies that you get to look at every day. I have a pro birder friend who has a place in Panama and spends at least a week in Costa Rica every winter doing her birder things. My brother bought a place in Costa Rica (he retired better than me). After his first trip he called to ask about a camera, and my Nikon specifically. His words "If you aren't a birder when you go to Costa Rica you will be when you leave."

Glad you are back.
