Perhaps you could borrow some of Dennis Paulson's slides that he uses to
torment the Master Birder classes. :-)
A couple of weeks ago, a graduate of the most recent class described a few
of the really tricky slides, and I recognized the descriptions of some of
them from way back when I went through that program (90-91). Some definitely
show a different perspective!
