Thanks, Denny, for putting your apology on Tweeters. I suspect there are a
lot of "Tweeter-readers" who hesitate to post to Tweeters for fear of being
toasted.
Your apology sets a good example to others who may thoughtlessly offend
others with insensitive responses.
Hats off to Pataricia Hansen who shows us that being a true birder need
not depend on the length of your life list or the mileage on your odometer.
