Dave at BirdTLC is hosting today's chapter of the I and the Bird blogging carnival. Dave has done another swell job presenting quite a few stories from blogs I already know and frequent regularly and from a few new ones I'm looking forward to knowing better. Friends Nuthatch, Tony, Pamela, Cindy and Mike have submitted great posts again as have notable regulars Hedwig the Owl, Clare from the Arctic Bay, Charlie and Dave, today's host.

I have the job of hosting the next installment of IATB, so start thinking of your next birdy blogging subjects and send them along before October 11.
