This strikes me as a puzzling communication strategy for an important issue. The announcement states that “Julie Davis, Chair of the Board, is acting as interim president while the Board prepares to begin the search for the next ABA president.”

Dorian’s gregarious personality and self-deprecating sense of humor makes even the most meditative sections one of a piece with his birding experiences, producing a good read that may make you think. Plus tales of birding from the point of view of the traveling cyclist. There are also surprises. This is a smartly written book.

After securing our passage, I patiently waited for this once-in-a-lifetime experience to a place we have never been and lacked any knowledge of, we were in for a complete surprise. Regardless, we made it Marion and all else added to the experience. Salvin’s Prion. Just get rid of the mice. Our Flock to Marion was no different.

Temporarily Kathi and Josh are back in the United States resting, refueling, and planning the South American portion of their journey. A bite from an army ant can really pack a punch; I speak from experience. Being quiet and patient and letting the birds move around and reveal themselves is usually the best strategy.
