My husband and I are planning on taking part in this field trip in the
morning, but we may have to keep some distance from the group at
times. We will have our 5 year old girl along and we don't want her to
be a distraction to the other birders. Because of this, we are
concerned about getting separated from the group and perhaps not being
able to find the group at the next stop (since we don't know all the
stops). We are from the area and quite familiar with some of the
places mentioned, but not so much with others!
Is there any way to get a contact cell phone number of someone who
will be in the group, so we can keep up and find ya'll again if
distractions arise? If so, you may email me privately.
We do plan to meet up with the group at Doherty's in the morning...
but just in case....
Many thanks,
Shawna Ellis, Paris TN
