Thinking of you and praying for you. Thanks to you I've done three "Big Sits" and loved every one. Now I'm re-reading "Bird Watching for Dummies" and looking forward to spring migration. Hope the news from your latest scan was encouraging.

Hi Bill, it's good to hear you sounding so positive. I think of you all often, and wish good things for you all. Our curlews are back on the fells, the blackgrouse are lekking, hope you get your "Timberdoodle" soon!
Stay strong, we're with you!!
Love from Ashley.

What a great way to end my day, feeling your joy and smiling with the good news you shared! Curtis Loew is adorable, and I look forward to many more birding and doggie stories! Sending you a big hug!

So glad to hear of an energetic day to bird!! My friend and I joined you in Delaware at the BWD Red Knot trip and I love your kindness and sense of humor, and have been praying for no pain with your diagnosis and chemo! Hope you have many birding days left!

Super to hear from you Bill! Wonderful news that you have renewed energy. Congrats on the move to more healthy food. Many of us are better people with furry family members - whenever you come in the door they act like it's a good day. Prayers for healing!

Sigh, Curtis Loew softened my heart. Bill how do they know? Now if that was the nightly news all life would be better! Susie Ruby, Oklahoma

Great to hear about your renewed energy levels and your good birding day. We made the 10-hr drive back home from Leesburg, FL yesterday, and I can personally affirm Spring is making its way north. Live oaks and many other trees were leafing out in central FL, with parulas singing their hearts out from the moss-draped canopies of the oak groves. We witnessed a wood duck pair checking out a nest box and saw the last stragglers of migratory sandhill crane flocks heading north. At Sweetwater Preserve and La Chua Trail in Gainesville, there were 200+ black-bellied whistling ducks, 14 (yes really!) snail kites, singing yellow-throated warblers & white-eyed vireos, and a nesting great horned owl to highlight our sightings list. Outside our Leesburg friends' home, we heard one or two whip-poor-wills calling each morning and evening. Yellow jasmine vines are in full bloom from central FL to central SC, and swamp maple trees are scarlet with emerging leaves and winged seeds. It was (of course) still windy and chilly when we finally reached Lost Cove, but our crocuses are beginning to bloom and there are fat buds on the daffodils. So Spring should be entering Ohio before long. Hugs,

Hi, Bill! What a longed for post with encouraging news! I’m Geoff’s aunt, and I met you at the New River birding week a few years back. I’m following your journey, and Curtis’, too! You and all your remarkable family are in my heart. Sending healing thoughts your way. Thanks for allowing us in!

Your update made me smile. Happy that you are feeling so much better. Good luck on the scan.

So great to hear that you are experiencing respite from the fatigue and pain and are able to expand your world outward. We have all fingers and all toes crossed.
