There's currently only one trip - led by Wilderness Birding (Aaron Lang) - that's in the summer, and involves flying out to northern AK and then rafting down river to the nesting area. It sounds like a great trip - and birding with Aaron and WIlderness Birding is a really great experience. I'll definitely go back some time and do it when I'm less concerned about time. Might make a good 800th bird?<br /><br />Thanks for the comments,<br />- NeilAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852470264664628180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3327328801244950917.post-29056667278322766872013-12-03T08:20:02.914-05:002013-12-03T08:20:02.914-05:00Thanks Jon!

At least, it felt like that! Too bad it's not countable. <br /><br />Thanks for the nice comments. Glad this is proving at least vaguely educational!<br /><br />- NeilAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852470264664628180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3327328801244950917.post-87415248780471485432013-12-03T08:17:30.094-05:002013-12-03T08:17:30.094-05:00Thanks Scott!
