Lee has taken a number of people birding and interacted with
them in different ways. His part might vary from planner, to coordinator,
to birding guide, to driver, and other activities. Some have made comments
about the results of Lee's actions. His most known Birder, President Jimmy Carter and wife Rosalyn, comments come first. Following are numerous comments from Deep South Texas field trips and from Mexico Birding Trips. |

President Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn April 2004 |

Lee
had a lifetime experience. It was the good fortune to prepare the first
birding vacation for former President Jimmy Carter and
his wife Rosalynn. It took five months to develop. He planned all the
birding, guiding, lodging, food, transportation, and security were
all issues.
A Rio
Grande Delta Audubon newsletter below gives all the details and results. |

Ted and I would like to thank you for one of the most enjoyable birding trips we have ever taken. We have birded in South America, Africa, the Caribbean and Europe. As you know I lead tours to Costa Rica. We consider El Cielo as productive as any of these locations. 175 species in only 4 full birding days. Remarkable. Once more the scenery is stunning, food excellent, accommodation charming. And its all only a short drive from Brownsville. Nancy Sears/President, Fundy Hiking and Nature Tours |

| 11-10-07 See details on list for one day trip etc for these two e-mails. Hi Lee, I put my list into ebird and as best as I can tell, the total comes to 69 species (18 lifers for me.) I would like to purchase a print of the Spoonbill photo we talked about as a gift for my parents |

| Cliff and any others interested: I just returned from a one-day birding visit to Lower RGV - Brownsville area and if you or anyone else is interested, I can recommend a local guide who guides for birds and/or butterflies in RGV and Mexico. He was a terrific guide, a lot of fun to spend time with... plus I picked up an overwhelming 18 lifebirds in one day. Best regards,Peter |

10-28-2007 Hi again Lee, I just wanted to thank you so very much for your generous hospitality and time you spent with Sue Ann and I in wonderful conversation and sharing your passion of photography with us. Thanks also for sharing your insight into the excellent places to go to for photographing the local wildlife. We would have loved to have gone on a photoshoot with you. I am sending along a sample of some of the photos we were able to capture while in your area. We have been in the Mission area since leaving your place and enjoying the many butterfly parks here. Until next time....Paul & Sue Ann Roberts |

4-7-2007 Lee, Thanks for the info. Last night (Friday) we saw at least five pairs of Red-crowned Parrots along with many Green Parakeets. There is also a smaller roost of Green Parakeets at the church on 8th and Elizabeth. We had no luck with the Tamps Crow in three attempts earlier in the week. Cheers, John Rakestraw |
