Hello Ed. My whole family will be counting again this year: Bobby Loy, Dianne Loy, Angie Loy, Trish Loy. Last year was the first year I ever did it this. The whole family joined in. We learned so much. We went to Day and Day Feed and bought the book, "Birds of Kentucky," and we were able to identify most of all our birds.

I knew we had birds, but had no idea we had that many different birds till I put up my feeders.

And wow! we got to see them well. Then I had 6 feeders and now we're putting out more. It is a wonderful activity for the whole family to get involved - no matter the age. It is very stress relieving and just out right fun. Last year we were all saying, come look at this! Hurry!

We were sharing 1 set of binoculars last year and for Christmas we all got our own - so this year will be better. The binoculars were good gifts. Now, when we ride around, all can watch.

Anyway, fantastic family activity. Thank You for all you do for the count. Dianne Loy
