Alan Gregory and Marv ElliottAs we have for the past several years, RCAS members and supporters gathered at the Proctor Library to celebrate another year of birding and bird conservation in Rutland County. The June 26th gathering included a potluck followed by the annual election of officers and a summary of the year’s accomplishments.
Co-president Marv Elliott thanked longtime supporter Alan Gregory for a generous gift in memory of his late wife Monica, a true nature lover and the founder of the annual West Rutland butterfly count.
Following the delicious meal, election and annual report, Vermont birder Maeve Kim gave a presentation on her birding travels. Maeve shared stories her many experiences and beautiful photos. Her enthusiasm for birds is infectious and no doubt has inspired many in the audience to plan some bird travels of their own.
