Hello All,
First and foremost, I apologize to Tweeters if a commercial posting is not
allowed. OBOL tolerates about 1 per month from a given birding company, and
the exposure is always appreciated. Economic challenges have dramatically
affected the birding tour business, and I personally appreciate the suppport
any of you have given to Paradise Birding over the year (and our last 12
years in Oregon).

We believe birding tourism is an important element of promoting birding and
bird conservation across the country, and while it has been difficult to
stay afloat over the last 18 months, we will continue to schedule a full
slate of programs in 2010. We are proud to offer small-group birding tours
in 6 states, Alberta, Sicily, and Mexico, and we hope to see some of you in
the new year.

I'll keep this message simple to minimize any anxiety caused to those of you
who feel it is inappropriate to post such things on the listserves.

Andy Stepniewski's excellent posting about his recent trip to NE Oregon
inspired me to announce that Paradise Birding will lead our annual tour to
Wallowa County, February 10-14, 2010. For details on this and all our tours,
