I would like to add that I was SO IMPRESSED with the congeniality of the Springfield group! I can't tell you how many times some one said to me "Oh, you are our GUEST, we'll take care of that for you!" I was also very impressed with the high level of involvement all the trip leaders have in their community. Every trip I was on seemed to be lead by a "retiree", who was volunteering their time to all different types of organizations and activities in/near Springfield. Most were birding/nature/conservation related and some were social service related. Your birding skills were great but your positive attitude toward life is what made you so delightful to be around! Thanks for the example you are setting for others.

The birding was great despite the wind. It's always a treat to see Scissor-tailed flycatchers - if I had seen nothing else I still would have gone home happy... Attendees also got to see some great birding locations around southwest Missouri. Thanks again to Greater Ozarks Audubon for an exquisitely planned birding weekend! And we're hoping that Charley Burwick located the two missing champagne glasses. (See, if you didn't attend, don't you wonder what you missed!?)
