Jo-Anne, wha...Cool! I have yet to see a Grosbeak.<br /><br />Jo-Anne, what part of Mississauga are you in, with the Orioles buzzing around? I'm still waiting and hoping for mine to return again this year. They are a tough one to find... very elusive.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394415371484679221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536724749484502008.post-47756452454405111662009-05-09T13:04:00.000-04:002009-05-09T13:04:00.000-04:00Just saw a Red Breasted Grosbeak, wow!

Whatever I try to copy and paste just comes out as my latest post "A Bird for the Season(s)".<br /><br />Like, there is one in March called "Who Would You Call or Would You?" that I would like on Blogroller. So I copy and paste that exact link, which I am thinking is the URL, to the add part and when I check my blog after... my latest post is there instead.<br /><br />So, it may be part of my computer illiteracy or ????Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394415371484679221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536724749484502008.post-54962797689005600982009-05-06T02:22:00.000-04:002009-05-06T02:22:00.000-04:00Hi Rob, this is a step-by-step way to get a blogro...Hi Rob, this is a step-by-step way to get a blogroll on blogger:<br /><br />Sign in and go to your blog "layout"<br />Check that you are on the "page elements" tab (at the top left).<br /><br />on the right side, you will see three boxes "Followers", "Archive" and "About me", and a little "Add a Gadget" thing written in blue right at the very top. Click on it. This will give you a dizzying array of choices. <br /><br />Scroll down until you find "Blog List". I like having a little more info on each recent blog post (and a photo helps to drive more traffic to my friends' blogs too!), so I click all the check boxes.<br /><br />Then click "Add to list" and copy and paste the blog url in to the box it gives you (and it finds the feed automaticall). Click save and you are A for Away!<br /><br />I'd be happy to help with anything else I can (if I know it of course - I am just stumbling through this myself ;-)<br /><br />Dale<br /><A>http://alpinebirds.blogspot.com</A>Dale Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898040644854359126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536724749484502008.post-80649622910920214072009-05-06T01:23:00.000-04:002009-05-06T01:23:00.000-04:00Thanks for the comments everybody!

Every time I try, it comes up with my latest post, regardless of what blog url I am trying to put in there.<br /><br />I can't figure out if it's my settings or ???? <br /><br />The blogroll is a great idea! Allowing some of my most memorable or important blogs to stay up from via links than be buried.<br /><br />Anybody offering help? The help pages here are confusing or vague.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394415371484679221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536724749484502008.post-65732617229286455492009-05-05T19:32:00.000-04:002009-05-05T19:32:00.000-04:00Hey Rob, nice shots.

I believe that most of the birds that you see on my blog go north, so you get them when I have the 100 degree weather with 100% humidity that comes for 3 months, plus comfortable weather. Things are pretty quiet here after everything goes through for migration.<br />If you have questions about using my blog, ask on Birder's World and I will be glad to help.<br /><br />Dave<br /><br />http://www.surfbirds.com/blog/DDolan1075/Davehttp://www.surfbirds.com/blog/DDolan1075/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536724749484502008.post-49369358863287507132009-05-05T18:57:00.000-04:002009-05-05T18:57:00.000-04:00It truly becomes Spring when a male Red-winged Bla...It truly becomes Spring when a male Red-winged Blackbird (at park behind my building)pecks the back of my head then laughs. This happened quite early this year back in mid-March! <br /><br />Lots of Baltimore Oriole sightings out here in Mississauga lately. I could sit all day and listen to the male singing. So beautiful! <br /><br />Juncos are super cute little birds. I'm still seeing one or two around.<br /><br />Today, saw a male Yellow Warbler and a Catbird. <br /><br />Have been seeing Groundhogs out munching on the grass lately too. Also, lots of frogs and turtles.Jo-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500691287562566545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536724749484502008.post-42822212899336240432009-05-05T08:48:00.000-04:002009-05-05T08:48:00.000-04:00juncos are friggin awesome! one day I will see one...juncos are friggin awesome! one day I will see one again.<br /><br />... and whenever I see a red-winged blackbird, I always think "longtailed widow with chopped off tail" (Euplectes progne).<br /><br />thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment, the "follow" button is on the right hand side of the page - it would be great if you joined in the Alpine Birds fun!<br /><br />oh, and why don't you put a blogroll up the side with some of your favorite blogs?<br /><br />Happy birding<br />Dale<br /><A>http://alpinebirds.blogspot.com</A>Dale Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898040644854359126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536724749484502008.post-31688252889391077372009-05-04T22:07:00.000-04:002009-05-04T22:07:00.000-04:00That's so cool that you have so many visitors.
