Rich, you are correct, great time and great group. I've been "lurking" per se for a while and it seems that this is a genuinely welcoming place that provides shared knowledge for all.

Michael,
Interestingly enough, if you can remember, my girlfriend was with me. She is an 8 year volunteer with the Raptor Education Foundation in the Aurora, CO area. She told a close friend of hers (Anne) that we went to a meet and apparently you built a perch for one of their peregrines, Mirage, a while back. Small world?
