This first post is Plum Island part one..
The Socializers

We did do some serious socializing…
It was exciting and fun to be with kindred spirits. We had so much to share and learn from each other…..thank goodness Christopher and a few others looked around for birds..while most of us chatted…I don't have a photo of us chatting..because, well………I was chatting..
The Tweets….Christopher and Bev tweeted about our day.
The maker of yummy blueberry bread..Thanks Laura!
We looked for shorebirds 
Bird watching
Stay tuned for part 2 Plum Island..
