A bit crowded though. Perhaps the service is just that good? In response to the questionnaire, although I have ads I don't feel I can claim to earn money. The ads have been there several months now and I've earned less than $2 in that time. Makes me rethink having them.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234209863121615779.post-24554766854725213742011-07-11T04:36:28.736+02:002011-07-11T04:36:28.736+02:00I enjoyed your digital aviary.

Today a robin dive bombed me as I was cleaning out the birdbath that he was in only a minute before. He actually grabbed some hair in the flyby as he bounce off my head. I was stunned. It was as if he was telling me he was not finished bathing when I interrupted his bath, and this was my cue to get lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234209863121615779.post-45072520295716944232011-07-10T18:30:58.618+02:002011-07-10T18:30:58.618+02:00Great commentary, loved the photos and the words.

(I wouldn't be able to eat very much!) If I could though, I would - though that's not why I started blogging - and the presence of adverts hasn't changed the content or style. The only difference it has made is that I feel bound to post. I can't decide to take a few months off. Advertisers pay for their spots in advance.<br /><br />If I were a bird in a cafe, I think I'd be a Grey Heron (even though I am neither tall nor grey). I identify with them though because they take a lot of room (and I like space) always stand off to the side, seem to see the distance and their own thoughts but not the middle ground - and as soon as you start to look at them, they fly (inelegantly) away.<br /><br />LucyLucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234209863121615779.post-74600677005427592602011-07-09T11:31:22.133+02:002011-07-09T11:31:22.133+02:00Great pics, great commentary, so funny.
