Thanks to Terry Fuller, earlier today, for making clear the reason for and the efforts behind the recent grading of OPIR. Many birders surely will be grateful to Marci Fuller and to those involved in planning the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival, including, of course, Terry Fuller, for making this possible! The Festival is over, but the fruits of the hard work of those involved live on, for the present, to the benefit of birders and of other naturalists who find OPIR to be of interest.
