Knocked out my home internet access yesterday, not sure when it'll be restored. At the public library today for a quick visit.
Just in case anyone has been wondering at my lack of posts!
Ditto on the bird i.d. forum, I don't have access to my books and this library needless to say doesn't have a decent set of bird books, so I can't answer as well as normal :-(

Thunderstorm :-((
Hi Resin, Sorry to hear that. Hope things get restored soon.
Oh no, I hope you get your internet back soon!
Well wishes sending your way Resin. Take good care.
Don't worry about not being available for the ID forum, Resin. Mrs Ed is highly skilled and will fill in for you.
Why yes. Just now I saw a rosy bird with stripey chest.
Oh No...!! Resin..hope you get back online soon, can't imagine the consequences during your absence!! LOL!
Yes that was quite the storm we had. I just heard thunder though.
Hope you get your internet restored soon. You're missed!
Mrs. Ed, I just had this bird land on my bird feeder today and I have no idea what it is ? I would appreciate any assistance you might give in the absence of Resin.
You had better hurry back Resin, or Ornithology will never be the same .....................
LOL Linth!!!
That is the famous July 4th red white and blue bird with pointy head.
Wow !!! Thanks, Mrs. Ed, I 'll have to add that one to my life list. What would we do without you ? You really know your "stuff".
Thanks, Linth— I try. By the way, that bird is VERY rare, so you are indeed lucky to have sited it.
Hurry back Resin, we all rely on you! Glad it was just the internet that was damaged.
ROFL with your RED WHITE & BLUE bird sighting Lin.! Happy 4th to all my friends here. Hurry back Resin, everyone is missing you.
Yes Resin...please hurry back, I am about to add a non-existent bird to my life list! LOL! Too funny Linth and Marna!
Lol Linth, Mrs Ed has surely done a great job IDing that bird.
Now Resin, I'm sorry about your internet connection, being cut off, but if you don't want bird file to be messed with, hurry up, and get back here.
So that is what that bird is called.
Hurry back Resin. The residents are already losing their minds.
:>)))
Back to normal at last, ploughing through a huge backlog of posts. . .
Thanks all!
Resin
Yeah, welcome back.
Look at how crazy it got here in such a short time. I did like the red-jay though, or is it a card-jay?
Quoting:

Maybe a Cardinal Sin?
;-)
Funny
No finer morning, when you're sipping coffee and knowing Resin is back! Welcome back Resin.
Yes, but leave out the coffee.
Resin, glad to see you're back. "The Devil made me do it". But, I suppose those things could happen in millions of years of evolution.
Did the storm blow in any unusual birds ?
:-))
Nothing very out-of-the-ordinary, but did get Green Sandpiper and Greenshank for my 2009 list the next day, they had probably stopped to avoid the heavy rain while migrating.
More unusual, a couple of days before the storm, some sea fog blowing in off the coast brought a Roseate Tern to a local pond just 4˝km from home, the first time I've ever seen a Roseate Tern inland rather than on the coast. It must have got caught up with some Common Terns that were returning to their nests after fishing at sea (they breed on this pond).
