I’m so glad you guys had a good trip and that your husband was able to keep up too despite his pain. And the stilts!! I love them so much! I saw a few today too and it makes me so happy.
Thank you, Aria! I'm still processing all the goodness of the trip. An embarrassment of riches. Those stilts! I can't believe I've lived this long and never seen one. What a beauty!
Great trip even with a few hours of pain, Jeff and you, lack of a place to sit etc. The pictures of the birds are beautiful. Bonnie had a great time with Grammy🐶
The embarrassing thing for us was that we were among the youngest ppl in the group! Birders are a hardy lot. I think if we had been better rested it wouldn’t have been so hard. Live and learn 😊
What a remarkable place you visited! Thank you for the photos you've shared.
I think your suggestions, given what you've described, are excellent. It would be interesting to know what response you might receive in sharing them with the organization.
It really is a remarkable place, Maureen. I hate to criticize the Biggest Week, as they do so much already. I feel like we just needed a little more detail about the trips. Our situation may not be as unique as it feels, tho, so maybe the feedback would be helpful. But I my experience, birders tend to be fairly healthy, active folks. The lovely thing about birding is it is available to everyone in some capacity. There is so much good birding in that area this time of year that it’s a win win no matter. We will def go back in the future!

They look so incredibly elegant.
Yes, they do. Like long-legged tuxedo clad cuties.
Excellent adventure! Thanks for sharing.
It was a grand adventure! We hope to go back in the future.

Bonnie always loves her Grammy time!
Thank you for sharing the great photos of some of your sightings! Beautiful birds. I'm glad you saw so many.
Hearing your experience, I know that Jim and I would have struggled, too, especially without breaks. Whew. This is good information to share.

You never know how many others were suffering with you!
