As we head into the new year, 2023, many like to look back over the last year. They find many good memories and blessings, plus a few not so pleasant ones. Many of you liked and made remarks about the Christmas Bird Review series (that was just completed). It seems you do not mind looking back.
That thought started me thinking about a new series that we could begin. “Looking Back – “, “Reviving the Past – “, or some other name to give it. ANY IDEAS?
Many of you have chosen to follow this blog through many years, and some have just begun following us.
- How did this all begin? Purpose?
- When did it begin?
- What topics have we covered?
- What Birds have we highlighted?
- Who have been the writers and photographers over the years?
As many know, I have been dealing with medical issues which have slowed our birding adventures down considerably. I still watch birds, but on a more limited basis. Having just received a new computer, and trying to transfer photos over to it, I have been finding photos that could be used to update or enhance updates.
I especially am thinking about the original purpose, which was to show and thank the Lord for all the Birds of the Bible.
“I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people.” (Psalm 35:18)

Thanks, Lee, for your online labor of love (and ornithological ardor), all these enjoyable years, in giving us LEESBIRD.COM — it is one of the greatest doxological treasures in cyber-space! But I know you have received blessings, from our Lord, as a result of how you have provided and grown this blog, because “it is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). Thanks again!
