Hi Jerry and all here
Similar situation here. Been Overwhelmed with family issues, medical issues, improvements, repairs on home, outbuildings, up at the cabin, even car repairs--- not to mention tree trimmings, firewood & such.
When one gets old seems only 2 speeds we move at. ---slow & slower
Yes I've been on FaceBook now & then because mostly non-birders family, relatives, & friends are there daily. Also the birds around here & up north are drastically down in numbers the past 2 years. Even the Cowbirds, Starlings & Blackbirds I used to get teased about have mostly disappeared---STARLINGS
Bluebirds, Tree Swallows have not used our nestboxes here or up north for 2 years. Very discouraging but we've had House Wrens nesting down here at least. We don't even see many House Sparrows anymore.

All In all however I still prefer this website over any other. The website browser & navigating is stabile & no annoying adds---but most important the folks here are more serious about birds & wildlife and more down to earth & congenial. Sandy & I have exchanged a few PMs about this.
Nevertheless then I think I will submit a few posts from recent months to catch up a bit & add a little variety
