Welcome Don.
I am surprised that you retired. Your presentation is so strong you
could go on the speaking circuit for ever if you wanted.
I hope you are still chasing birds in your retirement and just gave

off topic:
On a neat bird behavior note. My pet rescue bird can distinguish and
follow items on the computer screen. I assumed that the bird only
saw a flashing light and was wrong. Looks like visual refresh is
similar to ours which leads me to believe auditory recog is simalar
as well.
