Thanks for the link and the mention! I love your blog, so it's a real honor to be included on your list.
The birth of every new bird blog results in the death of a species.

I think you can count my blog, Reason and Brimstone (http://reasonandbrimstone.blogspot.com/) as a birding blog-- it started off as a political blog, and though I do include political commentary in it from time to time, I do a lot more discussion of birding than anything else, including a weekly Friday Bird Blogging feature.
