A new addition

Clearly I am not committed enough to run a blog on my own. To that end, I have invited sir Jimmy Tarrant to co-write the blog. He was the second vice president of  the Brown Boobies and the third president - both highly esteemed positions. And that is why I can say: you, like the chickadee below, will be in good hands.

Here Jimmy is at the top of the Great Point lighthouse, seconds before he sprinted down the stairs and across a half mile of beach to inform me that two Parasitic Jaegers were off the north side - which we were able to find and watch for another few minutes.
