I found a site of New Zealand birds - they are so lovely and I'll enjoy reading about them. I think The Rifleman is still my favourite. <BR/><BR/>laura - Welcome to my site. I'm a bit embarrassed that people are labelling it a naturalist's site, since I know very little about natural history. Actually, it's supposed to be a chronicle of my struggles learning digital photography. The nature part is incidental. I'm sure I'll continue posting beautiful things in nature as I find them, but as soon as I retire completely, I plan to be photographing other subjects, too.Pam in Tucsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10030449989883826414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16027033.post-1142860553838923352006-03-20T06:15:00.000-07:002006-03-20T06:15:00.000-07:00How wonderful that you were able to get a shot of ...How wonderful that you were able to get a shot of the wren in the nest! Great reflexes! I've just discovered your site and am thrilled, so the discovery trail goes both ways!

Just last night, a spider came parachuting down from the porch eaves and landed in my hair, so it was getting really spidery out there! Now it's almost spider-free thanks to the wonderful Cactus Wren. :-)T.
