RE: Chapter 40

Just one needed correction keeps this from being PL OK.

At the very end, you do not need to read the FOOTNOTE comment. Otherwise, definitely PL OK.

My best snowy owl story:

Word spread rapidly a few years ago that a snowy owl had been spotted on the Oregon Coast not that long of drive from where I live. Drove there, walked about a half mile up one side of the spit, walked about a third of a mile across the spit, and back down the spit for the half mile. Not a sign of the owl. Headed back to the parking lot when, low and behold you, there was this beautiful snowy owl about 150 feet from the parking lot. Gorgeous bird.

Let's hear more from you real soon.

Lomond, thanks for PL-ing. Footnote comment removed. Time is 8:46:97 (so I should just say, 8:47?) Here is the link:

Loved your best snowy owl story! Isn't that the way it can go sometimes, we don't have to look too far?! We have a Snowy Owl that likes to stay in our Pine Trees certain times of the year. I live near a famous area where people come from all over the world to bird watch. BTW, in the Warbler story, when it talks about their "beautiful" nest, I know for a fact that the Warbler likes to take window screen mesh, so that must be what the "silvery stuff" the author talks about, LOL. I actually have a photo of one taking strands out of a window screen on my house.

My goal is to have Section 46-The Sparrow and Finch Family by this weekend.
Thanks for your encouragement and comments!

SnowOwl
Enjoyed both bird tales. 🙂

This is Ready for Spot PL.

Thanks,

No, SnowOwl, THANK YOU for being a part of LibriVox. We hope to hear more from you in the very near future.

Section 46 is PL OK which leaves us with just one last section for this informative book.

I am a bit confused.

This nicely read, easy to understand offering of Section 18 seems to be missing the opening two paragraphs. The first one starts "The fourth branch of this family is of crossbills."

Otherwise, it is definitely PL OK.
