Shorebirdie

Hi everyone! Apparently, I used to have an account here two years ago under DESERTDARLENE. That was also my Squidoo name. However, I had to create a new account with a different name, so I'm now Shorebirdie. I write about birds, art, photography, books, the desert, San Diego, etc.

All my Squidoo and Squidoo-related hubs will be on this account. I have a few hubs on my DESERTDARLENE account. I plan to make more desert, weather, and art related hubs there.
