A passing today, one of our own popular birders Kathy Willens

I regret to inform the birding community that Kathy Willens passed away this morning after a long courageous battle with cancer.

Kathy was an energetic enthusiastic birder who attended almost every prospect Saturday walk and was a charming friend to many. Occasionally, she would bump into me just chilling to bird as we were Windsor terrace neighbors.

She was a renown sports photojournalist who photographed quite a few famous sport pictures
