BPN GET TOGETHER (Location change)

[Fabs Forns]

We are planning to have a GTG on Sunday Feb the 7th,2010, thinking of Wakodahatchee Wetlands (Palm Beach County).
We were planning Green Cay for there's not much there at the time. so we just cahnged to Wako.
We could meet at sunrise and have lunch at nearby Applebee's (Jog Rd. off Atlantic Ave)
Nicky G Jones will be with us from the UK :)

Who else is game?????

[Judd Patterson]

It's been quite a while since we've had a GTG, so I think there will be lots of interest! I look forward to seeing a bunch of smiling photographers bright and early on the Sunday, February 7th. Sunrise will be at 7:02AM, and I predict sunny skies with a low temperature of 58 rising to a beautiful afternoon high of 79. :)

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Ohhh yes!!! Have you any idea how appealing this sounds coming from an English winter?? :eek::D
Can't wait to finally meet you all!
Best,
Nicki

[Don Hamilton Jr.]

Fabs, i'd like to attend.
Thks Don

[denise ippolito]

Count me in!!

[Alfred Forns]

Will be fun and maybe we could drift over for a bite to eat after we finish, as get get closer will make arrangements !!! ... btw the choice of Green Cay is great since we could overwhelm Wako :)

[Connie Mier]

Haven't been able to contribute much to the forum lately but saw this post and wanted to reply. If I can get out of my canoe long enough :), I might try to meet up with you all. I would like to meet everyone! Feb 7th seems so far away, but I'll write it in.

[Gus Cobos]

Count me in for the party...:D:):cool:

[Ed Cordes]

Gail and I would love to attend, but it is only a short time before our Africa trip and can't swing Florida so close to departure for Tanzania. Sounds like you all will have a great time.

[Jay Abrams]

Right near my home. Will try to keep the date open.

[Don Lacy]

Just a 30 minute drive south for me so you can count me in also.

[Amy Marques]

I'll be there! It's just a hop, skip and jump in distance for me!

[stuart wanuck]

of course!

[Wheeler McDougal Jr.]

I'll try very hard to be there!

[Gloria Hopkins]

I will be there ... so long as the temps are above 70. This cold is killing me!!!!

[Blake Shadle]

Lord willing and the creek don't rise... I'll be there! :)

[Bill Ragan]

I'm new to BPN, live in Gainesville, FL, and might be able to make it. I'll send an update as the date grows closer.

[Milt Berko]

Right down the road from me. I'll be there with bells on. Looking forward to the day.

[Dick Ginkowski]

I'd love to see you all again but I have to stay close to the ranch. My kid is going to New Orleans for a week with Habitat for Humanity. Have fun! Miss y'all.

[Shawn Marques]

I'll be there!

[Harold Davis]

will have a lot more fun at wako!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D

[Gloria Hopkins]

Not WAK on a weekend for me. Not this time of year. HAVE FUN! xoxoxo G

[Fabs Forns]

Not WAK on a weekend for me. Not this time of year. HAVE FUN! xoxoxo G

What's the difference?
99.9% of walkers don't have a week job :)

[Gloria Hopkins]

Huge difference Fabs. Been going there for 10 years and it's getting worse every year. I don't have a single shot of a good pair of breeding GBH. Last week I had a nesting-display pair with an UNbelievable red-Cypress background and a man with a walker came POUNDING past me. That's was it for me. NO MORE. They can have it.......

Ok, I have a bit of a temper. But I HAVE been waiting 10 YEARS for that shot. Anyone would be PO'd.....

[Harold Davis]

come on, gloria!! it's as much about the fun and fellowship as it is about getting "the shot"!!! :D

[Gus Cobos]

Wako it is...its going to be a blast...:D:):cool:

[Gloria Hopkins]

come on, gloria!! it's as much about the fun and fellowship as it is about getting "the shot"!!! :D

Not for me it ain't.....

I feel your pain.
I was there last Saturday and got 16 gigs of the pair with the red BG, they were even kissing a few times :cool:

[Don Hamilton Jr.]

Okay, i'm confused, did we change it to "WACO" from Green Cay?
No problems; i'll be there, we'll just take over, and there will be no room for the "Pounders"!!!
Don

[Fabs Forns]

Reason for the change is we were at Green Cay Saturday and there was nothing but 1 Limpking and many Coots and Moorhens. Although we recognize the value of meeting and enjoying each other company, it would be nice if we have subjects :p:)

[Don Hamilton Jr.]

Fabs, certainly understand the "Change" ! We'd all be bummed with no images, so we'll make the best out of it. Looking forward to it!! Maybe, i'll capture an awesome GBH, with the Red BG!!! :) :)

[Milt Berko]

There should be no problems at Wako at dawn. It gets busier later in the day when we will be long gone.

[Fabs Forns]

Let's hope George performs for us!

[Grady Weed]

I love that image Fabs. I can't be there on the 7Th. But I will be there in March, middle of the month, with Craig Carreno and James Shadle.

Good for you!

[Alfred Forns]

Hi Grady ... will ask George to stay around for you guys :)

[Judd Patterson]

I trust Fabs and Alfred that Green Cay was quiet, but I did notice that Paul recently posted on Tropical Audubon that Green Cay was busy with Black-bellied Whistling Ducks, Purple Gallinule, Northern Harrier, and Purple Martin. :) It's amazing how a place can change day to day! I still plan to be at Wako on the 7th. See you folks there!

Judd, we were there the same day Paul was. But don't forget that Paul is a birder. BBWDs were three miles away, the Harrier flew the wrong way for 3 seconds and I missed the PM. We didsee B&W warbler but after 15 minutes of trying, not even a record photograph.
