North Carolina bound

I spent the day working my way through tons of client and Texas Ornithological Society matters, plus packing my bags for NC. Tomorrow morning I fly to Raleigh, where my birding friend Lena will pick me up and we'll head for the Outer Banks. Wednesday is a pelagic trip, and then we'll go to Atlantic Beach for the Carolina Bird Club's winter meeting. It will be great to see some of my birding pals from NC, where I lived for 21 years before moving to Texas, and of course, I'm looking forward to seeing Carolina birds.
