For the benefit of anyone who reads my blogs, I am no longer a regular employee of
OpticsPlanet - I have gone into partial retirement to be with my new husband, here in Milwaukee. However, I will still be doing blogs and answering
forum questions for OpticsPlanet, as I have done for these last five years. OpticsPlanet has been such a good home for me, it would just break my heart not to have some connection with all my friends and the staff, there.
In some respects I will have more material than ever for my blogging, since my backyard is a veritable Grand Central Station with all my bird feeders. I am going through about ten pounds of black oil sunflower a week, not to mention a ton of various bird mixes and suet for the woodpeckers. To be sure, the folks at my local bird store love us.
My new location is also a much better location than my previous Chicago address for general
birding and astronomy. Hey, I live across the street from a forest reserve. Last, night, for instance, I looked out our front window and saw three deer walking up the street. It was a bit too dark for a good pic, but I did get a nice look with my
Nikon Premier LX binocular. A couple of weeks, ago, we had Wild Turkeys, but no camera. I will know better next time.
