Well that was quick! I already heard from TWO interested parties, so the
offer is off the table!
And while I have your collective attention, anyone in the birding community
who has a habit of communicating with me via email should note this change
of address. <biodiva63...> (note the typo in my original post) will be
my new address moving forward, and <biodiva...> will be retired
by the end of the end of the year if not sooner.
