Answering the call

The Call of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker Celebration will begin tomorrow. My flight to Little Rock should land about 9:15 a.m., allowing ample time to amble east on Highway 70 toward Brinkley before the mayor makes his welcoming remarks.

I'm looking forward to seeing familiar faces--Pete Dunne, Stephen Ingraham, Jeff Bouton, Sharon Stiteler, Bobby Harrison and Tim Gallagher--and meeting other folks on the presenters schedule.

This being my first visit to the Natural State, my anticipation about new sites and birds is high. If technology is my friend, I'll post many dispatches from the Delta.
