Dear Idie and Birders,
I like to thank every one and all birders who was so Generous to donated there photos and Idie was so instrumental to get this fundraiser going to support the " Patrick Sullivan Young Birders Fund ".I know how important this is to a young birder with only one parent working,with so little money to doing thinks.I cab attest to the lonely days Patrick had to building birdfeeders out of Milk cartons,this how Patrick got interested as he was merely eight years old.We both join the Audubon and it was than that he got his good start going on Fieldtrips and took a class with Robert Ramsey as a JR.Naturalist.If we help some of this Kids to get interested in birds it would be as a new beginning in some pure Kids life.I can assure you that there would not stray and get in some kind of trouble what we seeing now with so many young teenagers.There is something about birding it is hard to describe,but talking about me,this years I birdied with Patrick was the Best Years in my Life.So to all accept my deepest appreciation to being so kind to participating in this Cause to help a young birder giving him or her a chance to exploring the wonder of our world.Thank you Idie to raising this much money for such a good cause.


Sincerely Ruth Sullivan

Subject: [Tweeters] Tweeter photographers earn Gold Medals for generosity!!!!


Last spring I put out a request on Tweeters for photographs of bird nests with positive identification for use in an upcoming bird nest program. I offered to donate $5 to the Patrick Sullivan Young Birders fund for each photo I use in my program. Tweeter people were so kind and generous with their excellent photos! Thanks to David Dilworth, Michael Donahue, Scott Downes, Denny Granstrand, Mike Hamilton, Joseph Higbee, Michael Hobbs, Mark Hoffman, Garrett Lau, Dan Logan, Mike Marsh, Steve McClure, Ollie Oliver, Grace Oliver, Robert Pisano, Laurel Lisez, Fredrick Sears, Gene Stagner, Khanh Tran, Victor Ulsh and the University of Puget Sound Slater Museum for sharing their wonderful photos. This week a donation of $285 will made to the Patrick Sullivan Young Birders Fund in their names. If I missed anyone please let me know.


I could still use a good Bullock's Oriole nest, nests with a baby cowbird in with other birds, Winter Wren nest and any nests placed in silly places or photos reflecting humor.


Thanks!
