Maybe it was the late hour after a long day busily working at the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival; perhaps it was because I was not able to get a good photo of him during the RGV Birds and Beers gathering. More likely than either of these, however, it could simply be because I am occasionally denser than a lead block. Whatever the reason, I neglected to note the presence of Grant of The Birder’s Library at the event. My sincere apologies Grant – of all the bloggers in attendance, our shared bibliophilia should have ensured that you were the one I’d least likely forget.

Peace and good bird watching.
