Oh Kathy, I am so sorry that you are losing your sight too. I smiled when you mentioned the Rose Breasted Grosbeak, I love that bird and will always remember it as my first "exotic" bird sighting at my bird feeder. Kind of like you Bebop seeing an indigo bunting for the first time. Pretty exciting!!!

Kathy, have you thought of getting one of those Bird books that contain a CD? It gives you the picture of the bird, but on the CD it states the name of the bird and gives you its' call. I have seen them at the 1/2 Price Bookstore, but I am not sure of the cost. Let me know if you are interested. The only calls I can really recognize are of the cardinal, jay bird and the chickadee. But I am working on it...

Have fun bird watching Bebop, isn't it great!!
