I wanted to do a yearend review, both for the new people, since this community has grown so consistently as time has moved on, and for those of us hoo have been here longer can remember some things we might have forget or missed the first time through. It’s been fun sharing things with all of you every day, and I hope you’ve been able to grow your appreciation for our wild world, the animals and plants around us, each other, and our desire for knowledge and to better understand the place we live.

I’ll break this down into sections in the comments to keep this in one thread but allow for easy comments, plus i can add more as I come up with it. I hope you enjoy this look back, and we’ll all be getting busy soon with the holidays, so Happy New Year in advance to all of you.

    These were all pretty early posts. We had probably around a third the subscribers we had now and there weren’t many posts, so this section probably doesn’t mean much this year. Mainly here for my own interests and a snapshot of how slow this place used to be.

    My beloved Chaco Owl photo. Meeting this little dude was one of the things that really jumpstarted my love of owls. From the Carloina Raptor Center in North Carolina.

    Near the beginning of the 50 States of Owls. We had some image server issues, so it got posted originally with no image, the secret to getting no upvotes!

    My photo of a Spectacled Owl from the Cincinnati Zoo. This guy and the Chaco are the rarest owls I’ve seen in person.
