    I saw a kingbird the other day. Big flycatcher. Merlin will identify a picture you take of a bird. Too bad my phone (or me) isn't smart enough. I do need a new phone. Can't get weather or navigation either. Pretty lame. Should have bought one before they all became so big.

    Now that we are retired, sitting on the back porch having coffee, birdwatching is a thing with us! I use the Merlin app and it identifies the chirps of the different birds that visit. Coolest thing ever! The app is free.

    Pros and Cos of various friction hitches in the trees

    I will definately try that hitch . Ive heard of Brocky . Seems he has come up with some great hitches . I keyed in on his comment about twisting (loosening ) the hitch for easing into descent . Will definately give that a try also .
