hello michael and tweets,

gee, it's too bad that this interesting meeting is scheduled for the
EXACT SAME TIME as the sibley talk! i would have thought that there
could be better coordination among members of the bird and naturalist
community so we don't have to choose between two worthy meetings!

regards,
