I arrived in the Santa Clara Valley in 1986 and have enjoyed very much the birding and the birders that I've met along the way. However, things change. As some of you may know, I have been doing quite a bit of sales rep work (it pays the bills) with Brunton optics located in Riverton, WY (yes, WY = Wyoming). This was good for the last year but they made an offer I couldn't refuse so I relocated. I am now the Naturalist Manager in charge of all sales activity of optics in to the naturalist community including birding, butterflies, dragonflies, etc. This includes attendance at many bird festivals and other significant birding/butterfly activities. I am writing this e-mail to you from the library in Lander, WY which is nestled at the base of the southeast corner of the Wind River Range. It is a peaceful little town of 7000 people so I won't encounter any traffic on my way to birding spots! I'm located 150 miles southeast of Yellowstone National Park so I'll be heading up there for my first visit within the month. My yard list stands at 11 since arriving yesterday evening (and I know there's Common Snipe nesting within a quarter mile from the house). My weekends will be spent exploring the Wind River Range which is a vast wilderness area with high snow covered peaks and lots of valleys and loads of fantastic scenery, animals, birds, and butterflies. I've already found a likely shorebird stopover spot 10 minutes from the house which now has about 20 species of shorebirds and ducks including all three teal, Redhead, breeding Wilson's Phalaropes, etc. I hope to find breeding locations for Three-toed Woodpecker, Blue Grouse, Rosy Finches etc in the mountains before the snows of late fall and winter arrive. If you are ever in this area and need a place to stay or would like to add a few montaine species to your list, please don't hesitate to contact me. Also, if you or anyone you know are looking for new binoculars, let me know and I'll point you/them in the right direction (personal opinion of course). I have truly cherished the friendships that I've developed and hope to stay in touch with you and wish you all the best of luck at finding that next new county bird or breeding record. I'll be checking SBB since I'm not cancelling my subscription. Keep in touch and good birding to all of you!
