Good times, I enjoyed the experience (At least hearing and watching you have the experience). No way am I offering to buy lunch, because you live way too close and might take me up on it!

Thanks for sharing,
Derek

Thanks Noah
This was very interesting. Found your blog from a tweeters link. So I am very interested in the bird info and your pictures. But the guy who takes all the garbage and your poop buckets away is a good friend of mine from Washington, so that makes it interesting too-I sent him a link to your blog earlier. The stuff doesn’t necessarily end up here in WA as the ship goes to CA. It takes him months to negotiate all the different destinations for that stuff.

Look forward to hearing about later adventures. Your accounts were well done, a good balance of the science and the general experience and great pictures. Put a note in tweeters again next time.

thanks

Phil

Noah–thank you so much for this wonderful blog, which is the best I have read on any topic anywhere. Good luck in the future. If you start another blog, please let us know on Arizona Birds.

And if you ever get down to Tucson, lunch for sure!

Glad you’re home safe. Look us up at Richmond Audubon if you ever make it to Virginia. Definitely lunch, birding the Eastern Shore and CBBT, whatever fits your schedule. You have given some valuable perspective on a variety of topics. I shared your blog with the guy who taught the Ecological Concepts portion of the Virginia Master Naturalist certification classes I am taking. Decay was one of his topics….. Keep on writing. There are lots of us living vicariously when we can’t get away!

Noah, this has been a great blog! I’ve looked at winter in Indiana a bit differently since I’ve been reading your blog. Best of luck in whatever you end up doing, and look me up if you’re ever in Indiana, or anywhere else. I myself don’t exactly know what I’ll be doing next year.

Noah – Just wanted to thank you for sharing your experience. My son is Kirsten’s boyfriend and gave me the link to your blog. I have enjoyed every one of your entries and all of your photos. I only wish William (my son) had done the same with his trips to Antarctica, the last of which allowed him to meet Kirsten on their trip home last January.

Will you please keep blogging about your further adventures? I have thoroughly and vicariously enjoyed your posts, and it’s one of the blogs on my feed I most look forward to reading. I worked at PRBO at the landbird station back in 1981 (I followed a girlfriend down there), which is where my love and attachment to birds and bird research began. For me the Arctic (ANWR, a shorebird research study) is the place that occupies the spot in the heart that is filled in yours by Antarctica. Polar is different. I understand.

Thanks Noah,
I know how you feel. I am still going back! Please pass along a hello to David. I had a hunch it might be him when you told us how to say his first name! I worked with David in the Bering Sea many years ago on the Alpha Helix.

Thanks for sharing your ice time with us. I think you will find that your experience on the ice will provide you a perspective on life that will last. I know for me I still find ways it has made who I am nearly 15 years after my first trip south. Welcome home.

Well, sad to say (I’ve been loving your Antarctic updates), but welcome back stateside. It’s been an amazing journey following your amazing journey through your writing and your photographs. Nicely done, I look forward to keeping up with your Oregon doings as well as your next big trip.

And if you’re ever near Ithaca, NY, I’d be happy to buy you lunch, afternoon drinks, and dinner.
