No apologies necessary, Carmen – I am too intermittent a responder on WP but love it

Thank you for sharing these incredible moments, Monica. Sorry for the delay in my reply, the new WP Reader is missing many notifications.
Yes, they are amazing! Thanks, Carmen
Fantastic moments!. Cornell Lab is my favourite resource 🙂
