How can a week, even one that's 10 days long, fly by so quickly? The offical Biggest Week in American Birding is now over, and we think by anyone's standards it has been a huge success. Thousands of birders have met and enjoyed great views of hundreds of birds - what more could you ask for? Congratulations to all the organisers and all the people who made it happen. We had a fantastic time, and we're sure we weren't the only ones.Of course, the birds don't know that the week is over, so we're staying on around here for a few more days to enjoy some more good birding, though perhaps at a more relaxed pace now. We're hoping to head out to explore some new areas to the south. Bird of the week has still got to be the beautiful Kirtland's Warbler, which we enjoyed on Friday as it showed off for most of the day on the beach to the east of the boardwalk. Here's a photo that does the bird far more justice than ours; this was taken by Adrian Binns who was standing next to us at the time, so you get the idea of the views we had.
