“It was truly a WONDERFUL workshop……You and Tom out did yourselves with trying to find the best birds and places to go…. Loved meeting all the new people in our group in person….and everybody was easy to talk to and get along with… Just learned so much about different birds and loved the alligators and just EVERYTHING about the trip… Brian’s boat rides were just thrilling !!!
