Interesting that the U.S. link from Bird Watcher's Digest does not include the 2017 American Birding Expo to be held Sept. 29 through Oct. 1st in Philadelphia, PA. What is interesting is the Expo is hosted by Bird Watfher's Digest. Maybe that is because it is more of an expo rather than a festival. Opticron is listed as an exhibitor.
 
It's in the October list Bruce - the entry states that it "Generally occurs: Early October" - guess we should remind Bill to update his own database :)

My next list due to go up tomorrow.

Cheers, Pete
