Thank you for this post. I truly enjoy ...Hi Juliet,<br />Thank you for this post. I truly enjoy learning about my blogging pals and what they are interested in, and why.<br /><br />As kids we played in the woods all summer long. It was a different world back then.<br /><br />I love to watch birds, too. I am self taught with regard to their calls. When I go online to learn more about a certain bird's calls, the audio examples never sound much like what I'm hearing! Can you speak to how you learned so much about birds and their calls? Only if you want to, of course. And perhaps about how you came to go to Africa? (You ARE brave!)<br /><br />Speaking of Africa, I just finished reading the late Laurence Anthony's book The Elephant Whisperer: My Life with the Herd in the African Wild. I certainly enjoyed it and highly recommend it if you haven't read it already.Maureen @ Josephina Ballerinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026799070718705353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-21750952389409546802014-10-16T00:56:39.025+01:002014-10-16T00:56:39.025+01:00I always loved the outdoors but my interested in i...I always loved the outdoors but my interested in identifying birds, trees, etc has increased with age.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-87971719073078703682014-10-15T22:44:35.093+01:002014-10-15T22:44:35.093+01:00Nice story, thanks for sharing..

Though my early loves were furry animals and I didn't move on to birds until much later. Thank you, too, for linking to the true story ... I recall your dislike for heights!
