I saw you are birders, and I grew up birding in Minnesota. I live by a small wildlife refuge for endangered least terns out here, whch I've written about: http://ombudsben.wordpress.com/2007/01/16/edie-in-the-inner-sanctum/ I also do some casual birding along SF Bay, and have seen 4 different species of eagle in my travels. (The wintering baldies at Klamath Falls are an amazing sight.) I was struck by your site, and a note you had about cardinals and other winter birds I miss.

We don't keep up with it nearly as well as we'd like to, but I can try to answer birding questions here. Do you have an Oklahoma connection, or are you just interested in birding in general? Hi Ombudsben,

We’re glad you’re enjoying eatmorecookies. We don’t keep up with it nearly as well as we’d like to, but I can try to answer birding questions here. Do you have an Oklahoma connection, or are you just interested in birding in general?
