Featherfest

[Mary Ann Wilson]

Connie,

Item from The Big Year ... a fun, somewhat irritating account of three
jackass-'tickers' who were competing for the year's largest bird count:

to the effect:

During migration, 45 million song birds pass over/arrive on 300 miles of the
Gulf Coast  between Corpus Christi and Lake Charles in one night.

Please TELL US WHAT YOU SEE!

love
m-a

In anticipation of repeating the reward of our past birdwatching experiences
during Spring migration, we had planned to get up early Sat or Sun and drive
the 1 hour down to Galveston Island and vicinity to view the best that the
sport has to offer.

I've spotted so many Spring plumed birds on one tree down there, it looked
like it was decorated for Christmas.

Alas, the area Chambers have discovered the big payoff, and now has a
Galveston Featherfest, and we will likely experience traffic snarls in some
of our favorite places.

Nevertheless, if any birders want to come down, armed with binoculars and
birding lists, let me know.  I'll join ya.

Connie
