Birds of Burnet, Texas

Hello again! Apologies for not writing in a while. After some thought, I've decided to put an end to this blog, since my goal for 2012 was accomplished. I want the One Bird a Day blog to be a nice, neat, complete package. Thank you to everyone who encouraged me this past year to keep up with posting! Special thanks to my husband Jared, my constant companion and birding guide, and to my Aunt Karen, who inspired me to keep at it every day.

Don't panic, though, I'll still be posting photos and stories on my new, ongoing blog: http://fisherphotographs.blogspot.com/. Be sure to check it out!
