My wife and I were having lunch a at this roadside place on the All American Highway above San Isidro on Feb. 20 with our Tico bird guide when this mob of birders poured in (you included). The food was good; the birds were good. We had just come from San Gerardo del Dota. We first encountered you and your expertise at Boy Scout Woods several years ago. I find your commentary very enjoyable and when I saw you at that place in Costa Rica I must say that I was a bit star-struck. An odd feeling for a 60 year old guy! Nice work!
