Folks, everyone wants to make a positive difference in the world, and we all
try to do just that. But occasionally someone comes along who has special
talent and the necessary commitment to do that exceptionally well. We, and
many others who have taken field trips and classes, or just encountered such
a person in the field, have been lucky to live in the Puget Sound area. He,
with others, has written and revised Birding Seattle and King County,
written learned treatises on the Yakima tribe and the natural history of
Oaxaca, leading WOS for all too short a time and has been a vibrant spirit
in the world of birding.

To me the most important issue facing us and our descendants is global
warming. One man has made it his mission to suggest ways to minimize our
impact on the earth by using our cars less and still see more birds. It?s a
win-win solution for all of us. I hope he?ll remind us of how to do that
via tweeters from time to time.

We?ll miss you, Gene, and wish you the best.

Hast la vista, Alan and Wendy Roedell, Seattle

Tweets,

After 38? fond years here in Washington State Nancy and I are migrating (is
that the proper term, or is it simply post-breeding dispersal??) south to
warmer climes and more efficient grand-parenting. We set off Saturday
hauling all our worldly goods down I-5 bound for Sonoma, CA, an old stomping
ground.

Our next address (a one-year lease) will be:

17353 Buena Vista Ave., Sonoma, CA 95476 (38? 19? 17.27? N, 122? 28? 54.47?
W ), until such time as we may be able to build a house of our own or buy a
castle.

We will begin the new yard list on arrival
Nuttall?s Woodpecker, Oak
Titmouse, Wrentit,
whatever.

We will keep our present e-mail address (enhunn323 at comcast.net) but will
have a new land line: 707-938-7276.

The Revised Edition of Birding Seattle and King County is undergoing final
tweaking by Connie Sidles on behalf of Seattle Audubon, the publisher, and
it should be out early next year, complete with new maps, charts, routes,
and lots of fine fotos.

I will monitor Tweeters from afar and will not miss the next WOS convention
at Port Angeles.

Hasta la vista,

Gene and Nancy Hunn
