hey, I don't live in Utah!  Not that I would care anyway. Look at me, I spend my free time here.

Dear Rapunzel,
You wrote:
Mesick, Mushroom Capitol of the World
Yeah, that pretty much sums up how I feel about mushrooms.
Gave me a grin, I'll tell you! And it's not a bad mnemonic either for recalling the Mushroom Capital!
Best regards,
Dub

I beg to differ about the mushroom capitol. As nearly everyone knows, the Mushroom Capitol of the U.S. is Kennett Square, PA, a small town just north of Maryland and southwest of Philadelphia.
A second good reason for living on the east coast is that you are under the flyways of migrating birds. Maryland is host to migrating geese which stop (and are shot in large numbers) on their way north and south.
I read today in the newspaper that we are just starting the season for migrating small birds and one of their favorite places to take a break is near Cape May NJ. How about giving us the scoop, WO'N?

Kennett Square - mushroom heaven!You're right about that, Boby! My sister and her family lives in West Chester, PA, and we go out to Kennett Square all the time to buy fresh 'shrooms, and chow down at one of the mushroom specialty eateries they have there. Mmmmmm! wait'll Connie sees this!I read today in the newspaper that we are just starting the season for migrating small birds and one of their favorite places to take a break is near Cape May NJ. How about giving us the scoop, WO'N?Well, Boby, here's something that oughtta "hold ya" for awhile...the good news is it's pretty comprehensive, the bad news is I hope you have a few extra hours set aside before you open this link: THE CAPE MAY BIRD OBSERVATORY: http://www.njaudubon.org/Centers/CMBO/Here's another: CAPE MAY BIRDS AND BIRDING: (on this link make sure you click on "Cape May Birds by the Month for the Entire Year", and then click on April and May) http://www.capemaytimes.com/birds/home.htmBIRDING GUIDE FOR SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY: http://www.pressplus.com/content/birds/wheremap.htmlIMPORTANT!: The Horseshoe Crab Egg/Migratory Bird Connection...each Spring it's a feast! One of the best Delaware Bay spots here in Cape May is Reeds Beach. Here's the story and photos (ALL BIRDERS AND NATURALISTS SHOULD KNOW THIS!)--" In the last 2 weeks of May, the Delaware Bay beaches sometimes have between 500,000 and 1,500,000 shorebirds alone!": http://www.k12.de.us/warner/birdrelationship.htmlAnd, once again, let me take this brilliant opportunity to say to all you "Jersey jokesters" out there: "GET OFF THE TURNPIKE!"®

OK, Connie! Are you sure you didn't mean this for the "Do you see what I see?" thread? Some of them mushrooms remind me of some fungi's I know!
