We were there too! Wish we had run into you. That was an awesome day. I had never been there before, but we're sure to be heading back in the future.
Wow that's neat.
Ami has an Audubon bird collection too.

We have that very same bird from the Vermont Institute of Natural Sciences gift shop!
I love goldfinches and put thistle seed out for them, thistles in the lawn be d*mned!
Hey! We were there, same day!!! I can't believe I didn't think to ask if you were going! We really enjoyed the day as well. But it would have been much more fun with ta real life meet-up!
