Sorry. Just to clarify. The "BBC" is the Brookline Bird Club. Based
out of Massachusetts they are one of the most active Bird Clubs in the
world. They have field trips almost every weekend through the year.
Most of the field trips are in MA, but there also a few trips outside of
the State, including this trip that I lead every year. Jane and I have
been members for about 30 years!
