BBC tribute to Starr Saphir; GWC report

Tomorrow is the BBC walk in Central Park in memory of Starr Saphir, legendary birder whom we recognize for her charity and nobility to birders everywhere. Please join if you can. The birds may not cooperate due to northerly winds but one never knows what may come through.
