Limpkin and Dan at South Lake Howard Reserve – 2017
We believe it is time to rest from our labors at Lee’s Birdwatching Adventures Plus. This blog has attempted over the years to present the Lord’s Avian Wonders from many different perspectives. It has been a delight to present these fantastic birds in such different views, thanks to some very talented photographers. Also, to have different writers adding such information from so many places and ways of thinking about the birds of the world.
Is the blog shutting down? NO! NO! NO!
We have so many informative and useful posts to be explored that are great reading and references. (This is from remarks of our readers over the years.) I, Lee, am working behind the scenes trying to improve the Menu structures that was developed along the way. I’m trying to clean up broken links to sites that are no longer active, and make it easier to find information, photos, videos, and stories about our wonderfully created birds.

Also, Dan and I are getting older, 82 and 78, so we are starting to feel it. Our birdwatching adventures have just about slowed to a crawl. We do move a bit faster than that though. :) It’s time! We have tried to do our best in honoring our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our Great Creator.

Thought you might like a look at a bit of the history of Lee’s Birdwatching Adventures. The blog was moved over here to WordPress on July 5. 2008 (almost 14 years ago). It had started a few months earlier on another platform.

As of today, we have had almost 2,292,000 visitors. We have had 8-10 writers, besides myself, writing articles. I am so thankful for all of them, especially the regulars whom you can find in the side menu. Plus, all the photographers who have contributed so many fantastic photos to be used here.

As I work through setting our blog up for the future, I trust you will continue to stop by and enjoy these posts, photos, and other blessings. [I used my most favorite picture of Dan for the featured image.]
This is not the last article coming out, but they will be less frequent than previously posted.

Thank you for your kind remarks. I may still dig up an adventure yet. Who know what the Lord will allow to land in front of me or Dan, and hopefully we will have a camera handy. :)
You two are also having a great many adventures of your own down there. Lord’s blessings to you both.

Wonderful drive-by cruise thru Memory Lane, Lee — thanks! Yes, in all things give thanks, to the LORD and to you and Dan. It’s a good cyber-birding journey, and I’m glad and privileged to tag along from time to time.

Thank you, Dr. Jim, for being a great part of this. You have been a super contributor to a wealth of articles. And your friendship to us. I am trusting that our posts will still be available for others yet to read. I have no plans to close it down in the foreseeable future.
Feel free to add more amazing information about these Avian Wonders from our Lord.
