I'm back. I changed browsers and stopped receiving notices of posts here and just faded away. I finally woke up and thought, "Why am I not talking to my buddies on the M-forums." So I'll try to stay connected.

I've got lots to catch up, but I'll start with burrowing owls that I've been documenting the last few weeks:
