Hi all Many thanks to Norm and Fran for the wonderful after dinner reception on Friday night at the MOS conference. It was fun to meet the group again and match faces with names. I especially enjoyed meeting Greg Miller at the conference since I lived vicariously through his travels this past year. The trip to Patuxent NAS on Sunday was a great success. We logged 80 species of birds and had a ball with Doug Lister. His name certainly suits him. He is a great guide and has quite the sense of humor. If you ever get a chance to visit Pax NAS--jump at the opportunity. Norm, I wasn't able to turn in my evaluation but would like to. Where or who can I forward it to? Also, I walked off with my name tag. :-( Who does that go back to? As you can tell, I was quite exhausted after the conference!!!!!! But I can't wait until next years.
