Hello to all!!
Many thanks to those who have sent in nominations already this year. We
greatly appreciate it!
For those interested in nominating someone for this year's awards, now
is the time. Nominations are due October 23rd
If you added a rare bird to your life or state list this year or learned
something from a new journal article or research project, consider
writing a nomination for the Brother Theodore Voelker Award.
If you know someone who has devoted many volunteer hours to help birds
or birders this year, consider nominating that person for the Volunteer
of the Year Award.
Do you know a young birder whose involvement in birding and bird-related
organizations stands out? Consider nominating that person for the Young
Birder Award.
How about the birder who you’ve admired for years, who perhaps mentored
you, who has made a name for themself in bird-related endeavors?
Consider nominating that person for the Thomas S. Roberts Award.
