I was afield most of today leading a group for Advanture Damascus Tours in 
Shady Valley.  It was a diverse group with seven from Pennsylvania, one from 
Vermont, two from Texas and two from California.  Of particular interest were 
the two California folks who work with the ornithological collection of the 
Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.  They have one of the largest 
collections of birds in North America.  It is the largest natural and 
historical museum in the Western United States, safe guarding more than 33 
million specimens and artifacts. It was neat knowing that they were enjoying 
one of Tennessee's most special ecological areas.  Tom Horsch and I are in our 
fifth year of tours, many of which have been in partnership with The Nature 
Conservancy.

Let's go birding......
