Over The River to "I and the Bird!"

Though Cindy Mead of Woodsong drew the unlucky number 13 for her edition of "I and the Bird," she didn't allow that to intimidate her. She takes us all on a caroling party as we go from one blog to the next, reading about Monk Parrots in the Bronx at one hand, then off to experience winter birding at Pheasant Branch Conservatory right here in my home state of Wisconsin, as described by Mike McDowell.

Enjoy the songs of the season, interpreted through the posts of the best bird blogs on the net...then send me your nominations for "I and the Bird #14," due to Mike at 10,000 Birds or me by January 3.
