For some reason I am actually pretty good at retaining book learning about flowers and trees. The birds however elude me. Hecate, I love the sound of mourning doves. It's amazing how many birders don't know the songs of the birds they're spotting. Kind of like identifying a rose but not bending down to smell its fragrance.

I know they're doves because we used to have some in my yard when I was growing up and my mom told me that they were doves. They make a very distincitve sound, a sad sort of "cooo."

I am the same with trees. I remember when someone came over to England from the States, pointed to a native tree and asked me what it was. I examined the bark and then a leaf, then declared it was a tree! The world needs people like you x I love your way of learning.
