On ghost stories
Apparently yesterday's "ghost" story confused some people as I got a couple of questions from people wanting more information about the story. There was no prior Christmas Bird Count from the "early days" and no one disappeared to wander the aether as the ghost of CBCs past. The story was simply my way of introducing
