Karen and I had an enjoyable morning, Rye is a super location that I would certainly recommend, especially at this time of year. One of the highlights of our\u00a0day was running into John Haas<\/a> and Lance Verderame, who joined us briefly before we headed our separate ways. John and Lance are both excellent birders and just nice guys to spend time with. I found out later in the day that it was John’s birthday, so Happy Birthday John!<\/p>\n
