I am so sorry to everyone. I had some trouble last night and was up until 5 o'clock or so this morning. I just couldn't get up. I'm really bummed, and disappointed that I couldn't keep my word.
I hope you all will share pics and stories. I even bought a brand new Nikon 3200 with every lens ad gadget you can think of, just for this meet up.
I really wanted to meet everyone but, like you said, there's next year. Maybe avian flu will be gone and more people and animals will attend. I will do photoghrapy like I was going to this time. Also, I'll be prepared with wares and birds and such since I'll know it's coming.
