Update 5/25/04
Not in any particular order.

1. Make sure you have a passport (or original Birth Certificate) with you. You should also have a second piece of photo ID like a Drivers License.

2. When we arrive in Winnipeg, we will pick up the van, and then directly go birding. Our first stop is Oak Hammock Marsh (http://www.ducks.ca/ohmic/), about 20 miles from the airport. When we get there we will have a chance to dig out scopes and bins but not to change clothes. So travel in what you are comfortable birding in the first afternoon.

3. Adrian has the tickets for the internal flights and the train.

4. Bring small flashlights. This is in case we need them on the Yellow Rail adventure. We will not be bring a large Q-beam.

5. Karl...please bring your two radios.

6. Since we are all young, athletic, and agile we will not be bringing a stool for getting in and out of the van.

7. We will not have a cooler with us as we start. If we find we need one and we have space for one, we will pick up one as we go. It would probably be a Styrofoam one and will squeak like hell.

8. I (Bert) will bring necessary tapes of birds. I will also have a copy of Sibley Junior. If you want a Sibley Senior, bring it.

9. Adrian will bring a book on reptiles and a book on mammals.

10. Bill and Naomi......please bring any necessary butterfly books. (Glassberg?)

11. Adrian has sent to everyone their e-tickets for the flights to and from Winnipeg. (Bob...you should have yours already). These tickets were sent to you originally on 10/30/03. Adrian re-sent them earlier today. If you have not received that message, speak up!

12. Even though these flights are on Continental Airlines, they specifically say "Check-in at the NORTHWEST AIRLINES COUNTER". That means we check-in at the Northwest Airlines counter in Philadelphia.

14. There has been a couple of flight time changes. Specifically:
Our flight CO # 5121 leaves Philadelphia at 6:15AM

Our return flight CO # 5619 now arrives at Philadelphia at 10:35PM

New Flight Schedule is as follows........
CO # 5121 Phila 6:15AM - Min/St Paul 8:01
CO # 5791 Min/St Paul 9:00AM - Winnipeg 10:30AM

CO # 5446 Winnipeg 3:55PM - Min/St Paul 5:17PM
CO # 5619 Min/St Paul 6:56PM - Phila 10:35PM

15. Ask if you have and questions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
