Glad to see you had an uptick in birders! Yay! Maybe they'll return and help with the next bird count --- February's the next one, the Backyard Bird Count, but the more serious one will be in May.
It's good seeing Matt Burdine paddling alongside Quapaw --- my father adored his father and grandmother, aunts, etc, so the family is special to me as well. Reading your updates, I feel like I'm back home on the river and not on the line of the equator! Keep penning those updates! Lisa
Thanks Lisa Zebra! Matt Sutton helped us with Fall Global Birding Weekend, and is my to-go-to guy when I have questions. He and his brother Zack, and some of their friends are super birders. And hopefully they'll be part of our Feb team, and in May also. Are we going to cross-pollinate? and make a sister city partnership for this next one? Or sister region? Small world, the connections with the Burdines. Mississippi Matt will be carrying what we do to a whole 'mother level! Sending big river love over the hemisphere to you!
The partnership will be a great goal for 2022, and part of my team will be in this next weekend to help with a very serious bird study. Covid climbed aboard several of those households, so they're recovering and 'chomping at the bit' to get back in the field.
I never met Matt, but his grandmother 'Baby Jane' and great aunt 'Pinkie' were very dear to me - great mentors. Matt is carrying on a lovely legacy and will make his family proud. Tell him that 'Charlie Boy' is probably smiling down on him as well, and if he's not sure about who that is, to ask his father!
Wonderful... Also, I'll share with "Mississippi" Matt (as he's come to be known on the river!)... He named one of his canoes "Baby Jane," I think, or maybe "Lady Jane"
Love it!! Great work my friend! Especially love the photo of the guides with Mississippi Matthew's new Clipper!
Right on brother! QPAWZ rock the river!

A canoe gracing her name. Touches my heart.
