Tim has been asked to take some visiting birders out in mid-July. We are told that these are very serious birders and so I'm wondering why they would even want to do any birding in mid-July - if they are very serious birders, surely they must know that this isn't a good time to be birding around here. They are going to be visiting from Europe for business reasons, and the people who are hosting them are just assuming that they will want to go birding.

So on the assumption that they want to go birding, in mid-July, we are trying to figure out what might be worthwhile. 

We don't know if they will be willing to do very early morning, but it is hard to imagine anything worthwhile past midmorning. We were thinking Huntley Meadows. 

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
