I do not usually do that, however I hope that we will have a mutual link exchange. Let me know and have an excellent day!

I would have to know the topic of your site before I can say if I would be willing to do a link exchange with you or not.

Yes, I do have another site that I run on the subject of hummingbirds, but the two sites are not exactly alike. This site is a blog which gets new content added very often and the other is a static website which gets new content added less often.
