Everyone needs the friend they can call when they spot an exciting bird. So important to have that person who gets how thrilling it is.

I honestly think that your deep gratitude and magnetic energy toward these creatures creates these moments that you capture and share. That’s makes you at least a Miracle Assistant..lol.
