In conclusion: if you want to come see us in action, then definitely come on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, when we band at Fry's Landing. Otherwise, prepare for some lengthy conversation time! Today we had a great time shootin' the breeze with some volunteers and visitors. Unfortunately, no birds dropped by to pass the time, and our nets were completely empty all day. Hopefully things will pick up next week!
