Good Afternoon,

Thank you Gail for allowing me the opportunity to lead my first trip
to Poplar Island!  I'm looking forward to having all of you keen,
talented birders find me some great birds.  ; )

At the moment, there are still a handful of spots left for this trip.
If you are interested, please send me an email with your contact phone
and email.  I'll email a confirmation back ASAP.  I'll add a few folks
as alternates too.

With storm season getting busy, who knows what the island might hold??

Best,

Dan Haas
