| Billie Gene "BG" Adams: Trip Host BG has been organizing trips for the "Lucky Brigade" in some manner of form over the last dozen years. She adds her enthusiasm for birding to the trip, but keeps the trip paced to be inclusive of nearly all birders. Though the group will aim to add many new life birds to its trip list, the group will go at a comfortable and leisurely pace. The luck of the group often bears out daily with a few genuine rarities. BG hosted over twenty trips for the Lucky Brigade to Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago, Ecuador and now Peru. They have had numerous trips to various birding locales in the United States as well, including Southeast Arizona, Alaska, Atlantic Coast, Northern California, South Texas and a number of others. |
