**Lonesome Joe** stopped by the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa to inquire if suitable mates had been seen in the region. *the Face of Everyman* had to confess that no females answering the description had been seen all summer. Smoke from forest fires must have caused them to nest far to the north. The venerable sage suggested that he return and check the results of the Audubon Christmas bird count. Figures would be posted by mid-January.

the Face of Everyman had been looking thru his Face Book photos when he came across the image of an old friend, a Summer visitor to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. The venerable sage made a mental note to remind June arrivals not refer to Reginald as ‘ol Butter Butt. At least not to his face.

Birdwatchers always became excited to see uniquely marked species. After months in Talk Therapy Nigel was able to shrug off previous critical and derisive comments by onlookers. Here at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa guests liked to ID him as “Butter Butt”. Now he found the courage to pose for the crowds. He perfected a grin and when asked, he joined selfies. He had “grown” into his appearance. the Face of Everyman commented favorably to Nigel on his new maturity.
