I just checked into my room for at Snowbird for the American Birding Association Convention. Check out the view:
I think this is the fanciest place I have ever stayed at for a birding convention. Also of note: my first bird in the state was a black-billed magpie. Beats the usual house sparrow, starling, or rock pigeon.
The place is packed with birders. Everywhere I turn there’s either floppy hats or khaki.

Okay – I am very envious of your view and the fact you get to hang out w/ other birders! How fun!!
On my first trip to Italy a few years back, the very first bird I saw was an ostrich!
We arrived before dawn in Milan, and passed an ostrich farm driving to Florence just as the sun was coming up.
Great hilarity ensued!
