I went to Grand Isle, LA this weekend for the Louisiana Ornithological Society Spring meeting (in conjunction with the Grand Isle Migratory Bird Festival). This trip concludes my Spring migration weekend/day trips of March and April. It was perfect. Now it's time to get settled down once again (and back on track).

Beautiful photographs of beautiful birds. I went, too and was hoping someone would do this. Thanks. I'm looking forward to more.

So have you made a life list yet? I fond it the most amusing part of bird watching - when people sit around and compare their lists (and yes, I have one)
