"NRBNF is a wonderful event. The week just flies by for me. Everyday there is something new to see and learn. The guides are so knowledgeable and so willing to share what they know. The team that puts the event together does an excellent job. It is very well organized. Since so many of us come back every year or every other year, we get to renew old acquaintances like a class reunion, and we are able to make more new friends as well. ... I would be ready to start the whole week over again on Monday. It was that much fun." - Mary Ellen Heisey

Warbler neck: a painful crick in the neck from looking at birds high in the treetops. A common malady among birders. Just thinking of it makes me stretch and rub my neck a little.
