In memoriam Elyse Shiller Taylor

I was  informed by a friend that a frequent Prospect birder from years past Elyse Shiller Taylor passed away in early winter.

I'm posting this note as many of the older generation of birders likely knew her from run-ins in Prospect Park.

I remembered Elyse as a pretty knowledgeable birder as well as a very gracious lady always friendly.

May she rest peacefully. 💮🌹
