Birders who Blog, Tweet and Chirp, Plum Island part 1

Howdee all,

I am going to break this into a few parts..since I took allot of photos and I always have a hard time leaving some out… So ..bear with me and enjoy..

This first post is Plum Island part one..

The Socializers

oops …I mean Birders

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..
