I'm in transit today (Saturday) between New York and Montreal, where I'll be at Extreme Markup Languages talking about XOM Design Principles and listening to others talk about various topics. I'm told the hotel has good wireless access so if it extends to the meeting rooms things should get interesting here again on Tuesday. In the meantime, if anyone else is arriving early for the conference (or just happens to live in or around Montreal) and would like to do some birding on Sunday or Monday, leave a message for me at the Hotel Europa. (You can try e-mail, but I can't promise I'll get it in time.) I've rented a car, and am going to try to hit some of the parks and other promising birding areas on the outskirts of the city.
