http://debwe.blogsome.com Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 05 Jan 2008 18:57:23 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en   We had three by 9:00 this morning.  Omiimii returned with a mate (I’ll have the picture later); as did Biiy with one member of his harem.  But at 8:08 this morning, we had a pair of incredible visitors:  Zhaawaanag (bluebirds).
