Not only have Diane and Harry recommended Pea Island on the list, but two 
other people independently e-mailed me and also named Pea Island as their 
choice before Harry's post appeared. I might not be able to bird that far

strong a consensus there is for PINWR as the best single spot for birding 
in the state!
