Re: Maine in July



I love birding up here.  It truely is beautiful up here.  Though I don't
live in Maine, Nova Scotia is just as beautiful.  If any of you are coming
up here let me know and i'll be glad to offer my services.  I've lived here
for the whole 19 years of my life.

I'm glad you enjoyed northeast birding, just be glad it's not january,
that's a good time to find the most dedicated birders out in 20 mph winds
and near 0 weather
