Steve - Thanks for your note. After some flaming, it was nice to read that
someone appreciated my opinions and information. I like to know what others
think of birding spots, as well as nearby motels and restaurants. Some are
good and some not so good.
Nebraska is expertly marketed. I was very impressed with their colorful and
nicely laid out brochures and other materials. Perhaps that was why I was so
disappointed with the experience. Oh and BTW, virtually everyone we met out
there were fine folks. Just what one would expect in the mid-West. We also
enjoyed a terrific local pioneer museum.
There are many types of birders and I think all are legitimate. I do not buy
into the concept of "real" birders that filled the internet a few months back
re the ABA. I am a "big tenter". So I am open to the idea that people who
enjoy birding in rather large groups might well enjoy the Wings Over the
Platte experience.
