Joybell - I posted a message of thanks for the list of your feathered friends yesterday, but it does not seem to have appeared on this thread! So here's another attempt to thank you for the list. I've googled a few of them and am envious at both the variety of bird-life you have and the types of bird. Here's hoping that most of them survive the present heat-wave. If they're non-migratory then they're going to have a pretty tough time coping with the increasingly drier climate you mention. Unfortunately thousands of years of evolution may not have prepared them for a few years of no significant rainfall.
