I am soooooooooooo tired (18 species of warblers in one day–oy). I think I may have over birded at the Detroit Lakes Bird Festival. I have to say, it is one of my favorite bird festivals–the other one is the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival, if you can only ever afford to do two birding festivals in your lifetime, those would be the two I recommend. I’ll blog more about Detroit Lakes when I’m more coherent–incidentally, I would start making plans for next year asap–they announced that David Sibley himself will be there. I didn’t know he still did festivals.
In other news, a chronicle of my adventures in Arkansas on the Cornell Ivory-bill search has started up on Eagle Optics website. There’s a lot to cover in what happened in a two week period. More updates will be added soon.
