You brought up a very potent point regarding climate change... the range maps in my somewhat dated field guides are, in some instances, greatly different from current reality.

Those darn bears. I thought I was smarter than the average one when I put a little hummingbird feeder maybe 50 ft. up a pine tree, reachable only, so I thought, with an absurdly long stick from our front deck. I found it 40 yds down the mountain, mangled, and the contents drained.

I'm still looking forward to my first encounter with a loon.
