Hello and greetings from Kiawah Island, SC. I am writing as editor of Naturally Kiawah, the magazine of the Kiawah Conservancy. I love your chart about the differences among shorebirds, seabirds and wading birds. Is it possible to get permission to include it in our next issue – with full credit of course.
Surely! Please let me know when you publish. I’d love to read 🙂 Thank you for asking. Ann
