Are you looking for a job and do you have an idea how much the SA government might charge me if I asked them to sell Krueger NP to me?<br /><br />@ Will, hey that's an idea. You realize raptor fall migration has been slower than slow this year here at Heidelberg? and yes, only Europeans can fully appreciate the appeal of brown on gray.<br /><br />@ Wren: wow, that's a lovely comment to get.

However I remember when my oldest daughter was about 4, and she was being a noisy 4 year old, I told her to lay down on the grass and be very still, because I wanted to get a better look at some vultures flying over...<br /><br />Yeah.. The wife didn't find it funny.<br /><br />Still looking fowards to seeing some nice posts about the awesome coloration of European Birds...

The problem with t...@Corey: Okay, I promise I will. The problem with the study is that it needs to be conducted by someone who does not have young children or a blog as this would take up too much time for the study to be conducted thoroughly. However, an "outsider" might not have the pre-qualifications to do a good job.<br /><br />@Corey and Nate: The child care charity is a good idea. all we have to do is find someone who has crap loads of money and no plan what to spend it on. Which surely can't be too difficult, right?<br />Right, guys?<br />Hello?<br /><br />@John: dang! I knew if I started to mention people I'd forget someone. Geez. Will add you as soon as possible. I could now state that I had hoped my comments on your blog weren't quite as haunting as those on other blogs, but that would be lying... So, there's no excuse.<br />If there's anyone else who'd like to be linked to specifically and I haven't done so yet - look, I am a tired father, I forget. Just drop me a few lines!<br /><br />@Wren: bouhouuuuuuuhouuuuuuuuu! I miss it so much. Actually, and I am serious, I can think of few places in North America that are as attractive as AA for a birder to live in: you're close to Pelee and Crane Creek/Magee Marsh, to LEMP, Point Moo, the boreal forest of the UP isn't far, there are fine grassland species around and the climate is okay, summers not too hot, winters not too cold.<br />So who knows, Wren, who knows...<br /><br />@Amila. Thanks, I am going to need it. Well, now that you've taken over the ’surreal treatment of a birding subject in a blog’ theme, I'll have to find myself a new blogging niche, right? So German birding might be it - or do you have any plans of visiting Germany any time soon :-))<br /><br /><br />@Joan: <br />1. right<br />2. right<br />3. oh sigh, I wish I needed to make excuses for not being able to go to work as I'd be birding...<br /><br />Moving to Namibia or SA?<br />I'd love to!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />How about a nice house in Michigan from March to June and then a small game farm, you know, just a few hundred square kilometres somewhere in the SA bundu for the rest of the year? Sounds like a plan!<br /><br /><br />Cheers to you all!Jochenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852825311605464857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647395313001100441.post-8610025788994084322009-09-16T05:42:38.732+02:002009-09-16T05:42:38.732+02:00So in other words what you are saying is:

You will make any excuse for not going birding.<br /><br />Shame on you!! LOL!!<br /><br />Okay here is a solution: move back to Namibia or to SA. The cure is beer and braaivleis. It does wonders for the soul. :)Besides, your son will LOVE the animals. :)SAPhotographs (Joan)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15993474141491808257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647395313001100441.post-31597247200660947282009-09-15T21:32:35.473+02:002009-09-15T21:32:35.473+02:00Good luck in overcoming your slacker status regard...Good luck in overcoming your slacker status regarding German birding posts.
