RE: [Maine-birds] Pledge to Fledge Call to Action

I had the pleasure of introducing 3people to birding this season. Very exciting to see their reactions.

It  is actually  a huge   and  pleasurable  part   of my  real meat  job 
that I  have near  daily opportunities  to   showcase  bird sightings  to  
folks  who might ordinarily not even   notice bird activity.   I'm by NO 
MEANS  any definitive resource, but I  am  invested in the wonderment.

  And then, OTOH,  I can be   totally mesmerized at  my own home by   a UFO 
who  stooped on  a  full sized  crow   not  50  feet  from   my  front  
doorstep.   My eyes  aren't the best, and the mayhem  was confusing,  
there was  no  victor or   obvious victim and both birds   flew from  the 
scene.  My  best  impression  was that the UFO was   heavily mottled  
slate-blue and white, and that every crow for  miles around must  have 
engaged on  scene.

Investing some  energy  in  curiosity invests in  encouraging  
knowledge.   I  do pledge  2  Fledge.
