I was just looking at a graphical summary of the visits to my blog in the past 12 months. It is quite obvious that I get more traffic in the Spring and in the Fall. Why you ask? Because I post much more frequently in the Spring and Fall due to the biannual bird migrations [...]
Playing around with the new Amazon Store feature I created a Bird Book Store.
