Audubon Birding Weekends 2010
Audubon Birding Weekends are back! As before, the intention is to see new birds, visit new locations, and meet new people. Paul Sullivan & Carol Karlen will again be leading the trips.
We travel to the location on Friday and stay in the same lodging two nights. We meet at a restaurant for breakfast on Saturday. We carpool and bird all day Saturday. We bird half of Sunday, then break up and head home. Participants are responsible for their own transportation, food, and lodging.
About 10 days before the trip, I send a letter to participants, giving details like lodging options, rendezvous, schedule, possible birds, etc.
