Subject: Photos from Michele's Big Sit
In spite of the dreary weather a good time was had by all at Michele's Big Sit Retirement Party.
We huddled under a tarp that Steve strung over the path and we did more standing that sitting but it is a testament to Michele's spirit that
over the course of the day about 30 people stopped by to wish her well and to thank her for her inspiration and encouragement.
Dennis said a few words on behalf of the club and Paul presented her with a lovely watercolor of a Scarlett Tanager. The club also gave her
a tote bag with the BBC logo, ordered from the website. We ended the day earlier than expected but many in the group did some serious birding and
I am going to guess that we saw or heard nearly 40 species. Michele has the final tally.
Thanks for helping to show our appreciation for all that Michele has done for the birding community
and to wish her well on her future adventures.
My best, Heidi
