Pip sees an Ivory Gull!


Pip got to see her LIFER Thayer's, Iceland, and IVORY Gulls on New Years Day—her lifelist is now up to 244! The Ivory Gull has made front page news in Duluth two days in a row now, and we were sort of at the epicenter of some of the news. I wrote about the exciting saga on my own birding blog.

It takes a village...

...to raise a puppy! My treasured birding friend Pat Thomas arranged with Joanne Elliott, owner of Matilda's Dog Bakery and Boutique, to make this lovely concoction for Pip's first birthday. Pip approves!
