I will be up to Loch Shiel soon. The Black throated Divers will be back along with many other animals that enjoy the area. You gave me a deeper love for the wilderness and its wildlife. Now I want to spend more and more time there. Thanks

I never had the privelage of meeting Mike in person but we did write to each other and had hoped to meet sometime. I am very sad but pray that God rewards Mike for all he did for everyone including so many animals. Be at peace my friend.
