M -

Is this a solo or group project? It looks like a group to me...

If so can I please record the glossary and if you want the last chapter (no title) which in the book is how to build a bird house?

Yes, it is a group project. I was uncertain about doing the glossary but decided to throw it in because there were some interesting terms. You may certainly have the last two sections. Enjoy and thanks,

Hi M,


If you are still looking for a DPLer, I would be more than happy to do it. :D My wife and I are 'birders' and I am sure this would be fun to read.

Thanks,

Wayne

I don't need one anymore now that I've got you to DPL. Thanks so much. I enjoyed reading the first chapter. My husband is the birder in our family but some of it has rubbed off on me.

Thanks for helping with this project. :D

Linda,

Thank you for starting us off with a bang. :D

Section 13

The only problems I found at all in this are a few mispronunciations. I usually allow for regional differences, but these, I think, should be corrected

:28.5 Glossary. You inserted an extra “l” at the end of the word.

4:26 monotonous muh-not-n-uhs

6:33 sibilant sib-uh-luhnt

8:08 vigilant vij-uh-luhnt

Section 14 is PLOK :thumbs:

Just these quick corrections and 13 will be ready as well. :D
