Rick ludkin a big hit at marsh social

I wanted to take a moment to thank Rick Ludkin and indeed all of the people who came out and joined us in a celebration of the marsh. Rick spoke to us about how the efforts of the banding station at kerns public fits into the Canadian Snow bunting network. I feel very privileged to have had rick come all the way from Ruthven Park where he bands. i also feel privileged to see so many friends come out to the marsh. Next year Maggie Macphearson has promised to come back and be our speaker as she will have finished her PhD and will have lots of news to pass along to us . Congratulations goes to Jacob Lachapelle our junior ebird winner and to Mike Werner who won the Sr. division. Well done!! Hope to see  many of the new faces we met at the marsh this winter . Thanks again to all who came and enjoyed the night and to all who had a hand in making the evening possible
