<div dir="auto">Hi Bob!</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I did not think you meant May! May is normally better further north like Magee Marsh - which I have never done - or Point Pelee which I birded in ‘13. Interestingly enough, I learned at High Island that the Louisiana Waterthrush is an early migrant. Since I always went April 15th and later, I only saw Northern Waterthrushes there. I can just see Jim not getting past the rookery with his camera. Of course they now have a skywalk there, which I have not seen.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Good Birding! <br clear="all"><br clear="all"><div dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><b style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(51,51,51)">Hans Feddern</span></b><br style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Twin Lakes/Federal Way, WA</span><br style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,102);font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><a href="mailto:thefedderns@gmail.com" target="_blank">thefedderns@gmail.com</a></span><br></div></div></div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Nov 6, 2025 at 8:12 PM Robert O'Brien via Tweeters <<a href="mailto:tweeters@u.washington.edu">tweeters@u.washington.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I just realized that Hans-joachim recommended the same.

I'm thinking Bosque del Apache, somewhere in Texas, Florida, Maine, Arizona, or ....<br>
<br>
My primary interest is in photographing birds ... not new/rare species.<br>

P.S. If time of year is important, please include that. Thanks!<br>
