Fantastic! Well, then a warm hello to Al, and a big thank you for your wonderful example to all birders and conservationists! (And congrats on still making a difference at 97! Respect!). Jonathan

Al should be finishing up with monitoring his bluebird boxes. He usually finishes up in early to mid August.

Old friend of mine, back in my early days of birding with my dad. He had a Black-billed Cuckoo that hung around his property at least a couple of summers. He could imitate it perfectly and call it in. Al was very involved in the Audubon society. I doubt he ever was associated with IBLE. Haven’t seen him since before his wife Hilda passed away. Lovely people. Thx for the quick memory jog! Jonathan, HSB
