Greetings all,
Old Dux, a masterful chapter indeed! and what a brilliant stroke to add a Vermivora chrysoptera into the equasion (it just so happens I ticked one last week on sound) The Siberian Variegated Rock Throstle? - hmmm.....haven't seen one of those ;\)
Were those birds flushed by the report of rifles or by Olga's 'bellow', after all two miles is no more than an ass's roar to our dear Olga.
Can't wait for the next chapter.
JRT, I must say JayDee is the picture of stirring patriotism \:\) And yes, I also enjoy seeing our two flags waving side by side like brothers.
