It seems to be well understood that once the holiday hype passes, most of us are left with a winter emptiness. The air has a chill and fallen leaves have left the trees bare and vulnerable. It's time for the winter finches. Read on to see what might be in store for us this winter.
Chandler Roberts joined the Board in September in anticipation of taking over Birdathon on January 1. Taking over from Donna McCarty is a tough act to follow. However, Chandler is well-positioned to succeed.
There probably aren’t enough superlatives to describe what Donna has accomplished during her tenure as Birdathon Chair. Over $800,000 in donations that have been granted to worthy recipients over 37 events. How did all this get started?
Logan joined the Board of Directors of ABAS after being elected at the September program and membership meeting. Logan is in the process of taking over the day-to-day website activities of posting feature articles, upcoming events, and other information on our website. He will be adjusting our web pages as necessary as well.
On September 10, 2022, a small, but enthusiastic group of birders, joined field trip leader Terry Ballenger for a morning of birding at Strawtown Koteewi Park. The weather was ideal. It was sunny with little to no wind, making it easier to spot the fast-moving birds hunting for breakfast.
Please join us in welcoming three new Directors to the Board of ABAS. Logan Lakins, Sam Newkirk, and Chandler Roberts were elected to three year positions at the September membership meeting and program.
