Howdy birders,

King Vulture is my handle and I've just rode in from Western Pennsylvania to 
spend more time with my young-uns and enjoy the mild winters. We are the 
proud owners in a community near Frederick, Maryland. I'm new to this 
lister-service which my Grandson signed me up for and reckon it proper to 
introduce myself. My grandson is the wise guy that calls me King Vulture 
after the birds he saw while serving in the Peace Corpse. He says I'm always 
waiting and looking real patient for something to die so I can stick my neck 
into it. So, howdy and it's a right pleasure knowing so many of you are 
interested in birds like myself. I'm very interested in reading all your 
checklists and thought you'd be interested in what I seen as well.

I've already gone bird chasing with Mother (Maysie) after some of the real 
nice birds you all have described in your letters. Thank you for your 
kindness.

Mother woke me up this morning at sunrise and I thought to give my new 
store-bought 10 power Tascos a run for their money. I didn't get far from 
the house, but saw some mighty nice ones.

Ten House Sparrows (10)
Twelve Purple/House Fincehs (12)
Many Black-capped Chickadees (++)
Three Carolina Wrens (3)
Three Tufted Titmice (Titmouses?) (3)
Many Gold Finches (we called them canaries when I was a boy) (+)
Four Starlings (4)

Happy trails,
James
