I wanted to let everyone know I made my reservations for the Port Clinton/Magee Marsh trip (week of May 11th, we're going up on the 13th) tonight and the rooms are going fast. There is a fishing tournament in the area at the same time the BCBC is planning the trip. My wife Dawn and I were able to get a room at the Comfort Inn but there are only one or two rooms left. There are other hotels in the area but they are filling up as well. I would encourage everyone to go. Last year was my first year and it was the most memorable birding trip of my life. It's a relatively inexpensive vacation and we (the club) have a great time. You can expect warblers at your feet and bald eagles at your shoulders - all day every day. As a relatively new birder last year I came home with a bag full of life birds. Please join us you won't regret it! Don Carrier
