I immediately deployed my standard repellent, a fine imported cigar, which gave us significant relief. As an extended Druid-influenced effort in both repelling pests and finding birds for the remainder of your trip, given the close proximity to Halloween, I would recommend hunting with a primitive Celtic-influenced mask (NOT Michael Myers!), taking care to extend the eye hole radius to ensure head-down and follow-thru functions. (In order to not make Elaine feel left out, she could fashion a facsimile mask of Rhiannon, the mythical Welsh queen). It may sound frivolous or crazy, but you must remember, it is the "Season of the Witch"!

Elaine brought her emergency sewing kit. She's giving me the evil eye as I read her your suggestion.
Pictures at 11:00!
