Hi Patrick,
Your answer to Mike's question sounds a lot like mine. I never thought I would enjoy writing but the community of birders is a great one and we are proud to be part of it. Great job on your site. Keep it up!

You are my favorite blogger and my favorite birder!

I'm not a blogger, but Patrick has inspired me to be one; inspired and aspired. I think to be a good blogger, one has to include photos, which Patrick does. I don't yet have the means to do so, so I've delayed my inspiration (for now). But I have to say, I check your blog daily for updates and love that you manage one almost every day. Keep it up!

Patrick I totally agree with you. I started bird blogging and I'm actually surprised at how much fun it's been. We had the opportunity to hang out in 'real' life and it was a blast. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for all the comments folks!

Susan, you are right! It is a great record-keeping and diary tool.

Patrick, like Susan I don't make the rounds often enough. However, I do enjoy reading your blog. Hits isn't what it's about. If it was I would have folded a long time ago.

As one of your adoring readers, keep it up, Patrick! I have a very short list of blogs that I both check regularly and look forward to reading. Yours is at the top of that list.

You don't mention the benefit of leaving a written record for yourself of your doing and thinking as a naturalist.

Would you be keeping a diary if you were not blogging? And, if you were, would you be working as hard on the quality of writing?

I haven't been as active in face-to-face meetings as you have, but interacting with the larger bird blogging community has been one of the benefits. It's one of the things that keeps me writing.

Well, I for one am glad you still are blogging (even if I don't make it over here nearly enough...bad Susan)

I think I blog because I am sadly lacking in approval from "real" people.
