		<description>Bev - I&#039;ll look forward to reading your post. I think we all agree that rude and abusive people aren&#039;t birders we want to associate with, and give us all a bad name.

Cindy - I have those same experiences, where you bond with another person, however briefly, over shared enjoyment of nature and bird watching.</description>

		<description>Interesting post Wren.  My most memorable encounters with other bird watchers have been those unexpected moments when we bump into others who are out on their own enjoying birds with no other agendas or quotas to meet. We share a bit of what we&#039;ve seen or heard then go on our separate ways. 
Birds have no ego- thankfully :)</description>

		<description>I have commented, and deleted the comments, several times because I find I am standing on a soap box and flailing my arms.   Ohh, see, I&#039;ve done it again.  I find that I could go on and on.  Excellent post.  Thought provoking.  I&#039;ll think I too will blog about what you and Charlie have started.</description>
