I think it's terrific. More stories on birds in the backyard. Find it a valuable resource. As a novice birder, I've learned a lot already. More local bird info would be lovely.
Leaves is great.
Keep up the good work. How about a separate newsletter for Pee Wee. More on birds. I like coverage of political issues like Geysers. I like the moderately short hikes but feel we linger too long in one spot sometimes.
