Long Time, No Hear

Clyde Camp, 2011 Possibly a very frustrated male.  Or Female.  The same bird (I think) has been arriving around 11pm and sitting in the door trilling until around 3am.  Sometimes leaving and returning several times.  Sometimes taking a nap inside.  Sometimes trilling from inside.   And several times spending the day sleeping before taking off at dusk. sitting in the door trilling until around 3am.  Sometimes leaving and returning several times.  Sometimes taking a nap inside.  Sometimes trilling from inside.   And several times spending the day sleeping before taking off at dusk.

Thank you, Tom Shackelford

Rick Travis, 2018 – Current President (2022-2023) –
Talk about being in the right place at the right time.
Tom stepped up to serve as Chapter President in 2020. Within just a couple of months into his Chapter Presidency, the covid pandemic exploded, requiring quick action to develop a completely different approach, and set of rules, for members to engage within our chapter safely. This wasn’t easy. There was no script or step-by-step guide for our chapter dealing with this health crisis…there hadn’t been this serious a pandemic since the influenza epidemic in the early 1900’s.
