I get to go to Corpus Christi!

[semillama]

Granted, it's for work, and I don't know when. But I will be working outside in a tidal flat area on the bay. I've never been to Texas outside an airport before.

Hold on, let me wipe the drool off the keyboard...


Even if I only get to do incidental birdwatching while I work, the potential list of life birds for me gives me the jitters...

1. It's an hour from the valley

not to mention the fact there are some damn fine birds in Corpus.... life piping plover and LBB gull in corpus.

good times.

2. BTW, I have had a longstanding fantasy about the

simple questions you could ask a candidate in a job interview to determine if they are a true bird nerd.

high on the list would be "would you rather go to Guam or Brownsville for 6 months starting in January?"

a close second would be "would you rather go to Guam or Attu for a month?"

3. I know the Corpus area well.

Let me know what you're looking for when the time comes closer.

4. Thanks, I'll check back in when I know when I'm going.

I've already downloaded a checklist for the area, which has me jittery in anticipation.

5. The lane guide for the area

Is very good.

Has locations and what to look for.
