In addition, I had mentioned to you privately and will reiterate...you are an excellent master of ceremonies. A highlight for me was the Tangier/Smith Island boat trip and I wish to commend Jan Reese. He was an outstanding trip leader on our boat. I noticed him giving extra attention to novice birders. At times, I see some experienced birders not willing to help beginners. Jan Reese, who says he is not affiliated with the candy, has the eye of an eagle! Even though the heat and humidity was close to intolerable and perspiration was running into my eyes, I saw more Clapper Rails in a few hours then I have ever seen in an entire day. They were the trash bird of the day on the bay.
