Sadly, I am not listing..maybe we need a few more birding sessions together!<br /><br />So glad you and Donna got together..both passionate birders! I love to see that!Dawn Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320576787003821586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-28696547176629698562010-08-10T16:53:57.187-07:002010-08-10T16:53:57.187-07:00Erin, how nice to meet you!

I hope you will visit me on Kathie's Birds blog when I get it up and running.<br /><br />Gaelyn, these wastewater treatment plants are birding havens all over the USA! Here in Arizona we have several, including one right here in little Corona de Tucson! However, not all of them are made into a haven like this one but Gilbert Water Ranch near Phoenix is another fine example of using reclaimed water for the birds!<br /><br />Idaho birder, there is a lot to miss here in AZ and a lot to see in other places. I will have access to all kinds of birding in New England. Though I grew up there, I will see it with new eyes now. I just hope that you can get back here someday.<br /><br />TonyC, I am sure I will have all kinds of adventures, though it will be quite an adjustment, especially since I will be living in or near the city! However, I hope that you will come and visit me on my new blog, Kathie's Birds.<br /><br />Denise, I am so glad that you liked Nisqually. I was there in February, so there were lots of ducks there then. I would love to visit it again someday.<br /><br />Donna, I am so pleased to help, and I thank you for that kind compliment! However, I still feel so inadequate sometimes and I know I still have so much to learn!<br /><br />Oceana, well thank you! Welcome to my blog!<br /><br />Warren and Lisa, so glad you made it there! It is amazing when I think that in one day I saw nearly 50 species there while some of my state Life Lists do not even have 50 species total for the whole state!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-17960213943159132952010-08-08T08:53:06.536-07:002010-08-08T08:53:06.536-07:00Kathie: We loved Sweetwater - it was the first pla...Kathie: We loved Sweetwater - it was the first place we birded in SE Arizona - went straight there afer landing at the airport and checking in a hotel.<br /><br />We loved how an urban water treatment area has been turned into a wildlife haven. And we got several lifers, including Gambel's Quail and Abert's Towhee. Oh, and Cinnamon Teal!<br /><br />Warren and LisaWarren and Lisa Strobelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00941785932371294899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-61002160321145833962010-08-06T02:29:48.505-07:002010-08-06T02:29:48.505-07:00beautiful site and awesome capture.

Thanks for the list.<br />Also, thank you for helping me find this place & for assisting me with my latest lifers. You are a great birder Kathie.Donna M.

Gosh, I will miss your Arizona adventures but will most definitely look forward to hearing all about those from your new home in Boston. <br /><br />I want to thank you for your recommendation to visit Nisqually. It was absolutely lovely though I could have done with your expert advice as I didn't see as many birds as I would have liked. Maybe we went at the wrong time of the day? When I share the photos from there I will let you know. I fell in love with the place, that's for sure.<br /><a href="http://anenglishgirlrambles.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">An English Girl Rambles </a>DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-80197165711641423452010-08-01T15:34:55.183-07:002010-08-01T15:34:55.183-07:00Lovely post Kathy.

Sorry to hear that you will be leaving...Hi Kathie,<br /><br />Sorry to hear that you will be leaving. I have certainly enjoyed reading about my hometown desert through your eyes.<br /><br />As for the eggs, I believe they are from pond sliders. For the past two springs we have watched the sliders lay their eggs (along the paths and even along the outer perimeter fence). But we have not seen any hatchlings. Something we will look for next year.<br /><br />Enjoy the next stage of your journey!<br /><br />ErinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
