On behalf of the Virginia Society of Ornithology and all of its members,
special thanks go out to all of the field trip leaders and annual meeting
organizers. John Zimmerman, President of the Monticello Bird Club, told
me that everyone else did all of the work, but we also appreciate his
efforts to bring all of the right people together to make it happen.  

Thank you Monticello Bird Club!!!
