Birders are a different sort of individual
Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night, will keep an avid birder from seeking out their target. And if missed, they will return again and again to see that bird that has been conspicuously missing from their "life-list". I could picture everything in my mind while listening to this heartwarming story of Dave and this avid birder bunch. It all rings too true.
Well Done!
