My friend Marci who I met last year at The Rio Grande Valley Bird Fest has started a new site called BirdBound full of tips for the traveling birder...including a most intriguing section on how to travel with Non Birders. My favorite quote is, "More friendships are tested and found weak in the areas needed when it's too late - in the middle of a trip."

Being married to a non birder, I know that all too well.
