American Birding Association - YES!

THE BIG NEWS today among birders is Jeff Gordon's becoming ABA's new president!! Thank goodness that that extraordinarily important decision has been made and a well-known birder will be at the helm soon. Now, we can move on with doing what the ABA should have been doing all along - listening to its members and responding with programs and initiatives that are for the members and are in line with the mission of the ABA. I will be in Providence later this week, hopefully to congratulate Jeff in person, and to discuss our committee's proposed ABA bylaws changes with the board.
