A word about boats and those pink birds.... We tried the tour boats---cheap, easy to find, scheduled trips, etc.---but it was no go....they said they didn't go anywhere near the birds since it was too shallow in that area. However, the private vendors are much more agreeable, albeit much more expensive. We could no locate the person mentioned in Mike O'Brien's book, but there are others who can be located through the general store. Will Gail be willing to put up the sites for the Budgies????? -------------------------------- Fran Saunders Maryland Ornithological Society Baltimore, Maryland State Web Site Director saunderf@ari.net http://www2.ari.net/saunderf/mos/mos.html
