Yep, definitely nice to be able to get a little bit of birding in on a business trip. I was VERY fortunate in that our plant had the only greenbelt in that whole area. Had I been at any other plant in the area, I would have spent 3 weeks looking at House Sparrows and Mynas!

Mike, Nice shots must be nice to be able to bird on a working trip no where near home.

Nice to mix in some birding during a business trip. Some really cool flight photos. I am still jealous of some flight photos you took of cliff swallows a while back.
