Did you know that Cameroon is home to more than 900 species of birds?  It is one of the most bird diverse countries in the world.  And to think, we live right in the middle of it all.  We have a guest at Shiloh right now who is an avid bird watcher.  Needless to say, he is thrilled to be here.  But it wasn't birds that brought him out here.  That's just a sideline.  He's a librarian.  Works for Tyndale House Publishers.  They sent him out here to help a local seminary refine their library.  And he's visiting several other seminaries in town, giving them pointers as well.  He even took a look at Shiloh's library.  He thought it was well laid out and inviting.

But back to the birds.  He dons his bird watching outfit twice a day, grabs his binoculars and other gear and heads out.  He always comes back with some new species to talk about.  He can't get over it.  And guess what, his wife back in Canada is not the least bit interested in birds!  As they say, opposits attract.
