  As usual with a local outing, the group of  ten birding enthusiasts met at Petra’s to decide on the day’s destination.  If not for Sheila’s decision-making we would probably still be sitting there… “72nd it is” she says, and off we went.  The group of ten included Ken and Anne A, Jane, Kay, Terry, Mike, Sheila, Marion, the
