I have to add that I'm envious of those 100 people; if it weren't for unforeseen circumstances, Rob and I would be on the Sax-Zim Festival list for the third time. The area habitat and its birds are special, and we've always enjoyed at least a respectable portion of the target species every time. I was fortunate enough to see some of those species during the Brrrdathon a couple of weeks ago, but I'd turn around and go back if I could; it never hurts to have guides and extra eyes! Linda Whyte
