Dear Elaine, Dan, and Hal, the entire birding community owes you all a great debt of thanks for maintaining Tweeters all these years. IMHO, Tweeters is by far the best online bird list-server in the country. I belong to several others, and in my experience, most of them focus entirely on finding rare birds. Tweeters does that too, of course, but we also are lucky to benefit from a generous policy allowing birders to post stories, ask questions, share experiences, and teach each other not only how to ID bird species, but also how to connect more completely with nature. Tweeters is unique, which is no surprise to me, considering the people who have been instrumental in its creation and maintenance. A big thank you! - Connie, Seattle

She has been working with us in the background for several weeks and will now bring her skills, insights, and fresh energy to the full range of chores, occasional unexpected challenges, and many satisfactions of administering this venerable forum for exchange of information and commentary on birds and birding. Dan has been in the wheelhouse for more than 25 years, and Hal for nearly 20. Not that we plan to step away, but let us say that with Elaine sharing the duties, we are looking forward to slackening the pace of our personal involvement a little bit.
