I wanted to do a yearend review, both for the new people, since this community has grown so consistently as time has moved on, and for those of us hoo have been here longer can remember some things we might have forget or missed the first time through. It’s been fun sharing things with all of you every day, and I hope you’ve been able to grow your appreciation for our wild world, the animals and plants around us, each other, and our desire for knowledge and to better understand the place we live.
I’ll break this down into sections in the comments to keep this in one thread but allow for easy comments, plus i can add more as I come up with it. I hope you enjoy this look back, and we’ll all be getting busy soon with the holidays, so Happy New Year in advance to all of you.
Year-end review from my perspective:
anon6789 has been an absolute delight, posting an incredible amount of fun, interesting and varied content about owls and fostering wonderful community conversation. I’m pretty ambivalent about owls, but your enthusiasm is intoxicating.
You’re the epitome of why I love the internet — it allows me access to wonderful nerds who care so much about stuff that it makes me care too. It’s been a joy to learn along with everyone here.

Well I’m glad I’m able to capture your attention for a bit each day. My main goal is to get you a little more focused on the world around you. There are so many living things out there we don’t personally know about or pay much mind to. But the more you get to know that hidden world, hopefully the more you will care about this world as a whole, and you’ll seek positive change in how we treat the Earth.
Thank you for the very kind words. It means a lot to me that all of you take the time to see what I have to share, and especially when you take more time to comment. It’s easy to scroll on, but when you take an active roll, no matter how small, you are helping build community.
