It would not be so frustrating if the local groups would in turn, offer things for children, but they do not. <BR/><BR/>Want to collaborate in bringing birding to northern kiddos?entotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765602736333069178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-15563420562598828722008-11-13T18:13:00.000-05:002008-11-13T18:13:00.000-05:00I can think of a few more good reasons you were pu...I can think of a few more good reasons you were put on this earth, but that is a big one.

(The "Giant Things" series is a close second.)<BR/><BR/>People, if you have never seen Bill in person, he is a tall guy. Watching him fold himself up (down?) to the height of his littlest birders is awesome, and gives me an empathetic backache. The time he takes to be sure every birder, regardless of age or level of experience, gets his or her eyes on the birds, the speed at which he can find, identify, and focus the scope on his targets, and his boundless enthusiasm for his craft makes him one special guy.<BR/><BR/>Don't sound so negative about that trip list, Bill. Seven of those species would have been lifers for me, so even though your tip list was short, it was full of some sweet birds.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all you do for the birding world, especially its future members.<BR/><BR/>~KathiKathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.com
