Day One

Thursday, July 19th - Gage Gardens, Gage Hotel

The afternoon started with a sneak peek at the soon-to-be-released new Swarovski ATX/STX scope... it is quite an amazing gadget! Below, Clay Taylor explains the highlights of the angled scope option to Kelly Bryan and the Kaufmans while Cameron Carver holds the straight scope body.


















Kim Kaufman wasted no time investigating the transforming scope.



















So many options! The impressive zoom and close focus comes in three sizes.



















Nope, definitely not stalking Kenn for PR purposes... wait, that's a "yes."
A few months ago, there'd be a Swainson's Warbler off to the left of Kim's elbow.



















The registration meet-and-greet was a combination of new faces and old friends; the prickly pear margaritas were delicious and the conversation solved many of the world's problems. At least for the birding world. It was hosted on the patio of the White Buffalo Bar / 12 Gage Restaurant.
