Hi All, Our long lost birder, Todd Perkins, hopes to join us at our Christmas celebration next Monday evening. Todd has been away at college and will be home for the holidays. For those of you who don't know Todd, he has always been an avid outdoorsman. He joined the Buchanan County Bird Club at age 15, and within a year it was almost impossible to stump him on the ID of any bird he was shown. Todd is taking an ornithology class next term, and is planning to bring the text book he will be using to show club members. It will be good to have Todd at one of our gatherings again.
