The slides and discussion were very helpful, especially for confusing species as the dowitchers and western/semi-palmated sandpipers. During the break, Michael announced that his CD-ROM of Flight Calls of Migratroy Birds was completed, and he had brought along copies for sale! Well, everyone got a copy (I got mine signed, too!), and I just finished perusing mine. It looks like it will be a big help, but a daunting challenge. And I thought the shorebirds were difficult! He also announced that he is working on a shorebird book, co-written by Richard Crossley and Kevin Karlson. In the meantime, pick up a copy of the CD-ROM for hours of confusing entertainment! Thanks go out to Cyndie Loeper for setting up and hosting the workshop, and for presenting a beautiful spread of gourmet food and gracious hospitality! Now I can't wait to get down to the Hook...
