Hi folks,

When the Redwing came to our fair city, I found out that I am now known as "the guy who posts the job announcements", rather than a 'real birder'..... Sigh....

Anyway, this crossed my computer screen, and I thought that - on the outside chance - someone might think it was cool enough to want to spend a year of their life at sea half-way 'round the world! What a great adventure for a young birder!

Please reply to Dr. Petersen if you're interested.
