    Going to start this back up, with permission from Islander7. Posts, comments and stories for the birders/birdwatchers/twitchers on FR. Post and share. I was walking through a small sanctuary in my county, when I had two Barred Owls paying very close attention to me. I happened to look straight up over my left shoulder and saw why.

    Just a snippet from the Editorial in today's paper from Dewayne Wickham: "...the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, was an event that has transformed the world.
