		<description><![CDATA[As an Aussie who&#039;s never been to the USA other than to change planes in LA bound for Vancouver, I was fascinated by the birdlife in your photos. Such a variety. Some of them seem similar to what we have here- Cattle egrets are in plague proportion, and we have quite a lot of Falcons too.

Hard to believe that countryside that looks so barren can support such a variety of wildlife.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great photos. You didn&#039;t say how many pounds of rock you took with you. The 15 pounds per day would be a lot of ballast for a trailer. :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Absolutely great photos.  (Love the Cedar waxwing photos). Also enjoyed the Earthquake Lake &amp; Yellowstone stuff having been there last October.  The sheer natural drama, geologically speaking, in that region is literally phenomenal.  I was so impressed by the story of the Kooskia  area &amp; the Earthquake Lake story when I read the signage at both sites.  Remarkable.  Look forward to visiting the Little Pend Oreille, probably this Spring.  The natural history of the Columbia is truly awesome.  I am inspired and invigorated whenever I am in the presence of that mighty river and the geography it majestically flows through.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The two young hawks pictured here are Swainson&#039;s hawks.   From their age and feathering they were likely still in a family group, being supplied with food by the adults.

		<description><![CDATA[We have a 20 ft safari Airstream.    Absolutely love your journal and the pictures of the birds.   Would you give me permission to paint some of the bird photos in watercolor?

I have a blog I would like to post the paintings on in the future after completed.   You can see the blog by Googling Scene on Whidbey.

Thank you
