[rec.birds] Trip Report to Everglades and Florida Keys, Part 7

pratt@paul.rutgers.edu (Lorien Y. Pratt) (05/29/90)

		Trip report to the Everglades and Florida Keys
		  ==or-- how to see 165 species in 8 days.

This file contains a fairly detailed travel log of a trip that we took this
spring to the Everglades, then to Key Largo, then to Big Pine Key.  We did
lots of both bird- and fish-watching and did our first scuba diving since we
were certified (NAUI) last fall.   This information should be of interest to
birders and fishers (?) alike who are interested in doing the same kind of
trip that we did.

Could you please define this term for us denizens of "rec.scuba" ?
I've never been involved in organized birding, myself.
