I was at the airport late on NewYears Day to look for the owls. I did get to see one very well on the Fed Ex building. Unfortunately I learned a harsh lesson about myself and a large group of other birders. When I first got into the are there were a few cars and people out looking at what was then a speck of a Snowy Owl at quite a distance. In my haste to find out if and where the bird was being seen , I kept out of the car without my mask into a group of other birders, also mask-less. After talking in close proximity to several people and looking briefly I went back to the car. My wife noted “you don’t have your mask on”. I was embarrassed and really disappointed since it was such an obvious place to wear a mask and be socially distant- as every of these e mails from MOU reminds us. The collection of people in this area began to grow to at least 20 or so and I counted only 2 masks. I know I have to be better at wearing my mask in future similar situations! I hope others will as well. Charlie Greenman
