Report from Hungary

Volodja and I are just back from LoLa 9, August 23-26, where we gave one of the invited talks, saw old friends and met new ones, enjoyed stimulating talks and discussions, and had lots of birdwatching, thanks to one of the organizers, Beáta Gyuris, an old friend who visited UMass Amherst twice, the second time for a whole year. The birdwatching photo, taken by Volodja, shows me, Beata, and our ornithologist guide Peter on the 23rd, before the conference started. On the last birdwatching excursion (no photo), Peter took me, Manfred Krifka, Marcus Kracht, and Gerhard Jäger out early Saturday morning, and added a fitting new bird to my life list -- a Montagu's harrier! (For good photos of it, see these two sites.) There will be conference photos on the LoLa 9 site soon, but in the meantime here are a couple.
