I’m very sad to hear about Terry’s passing but I’m relieved knowing that he’s
at peace. He was one of the first birders I met in Murfreesboro, and I am so
grateful for all the times he took my brother and me out birding when we were
too young to drive. He showed us around all the “secret“ hotspots in Rutherford
County, and we owe him a lot for keeping tabs on the eastern US’s last breeding
population of Bewick’s Wrens. He was such a fun character, and he will
certainly be missed.

Sadly I wish to inform Tennessee birders of the passing of Terry Witt. He
died yesterday 8/8/2021 in his home in Bradenton Fla after an extended
illness. His wife Carol and his daughters were at his side. He was a
prodigious birder for many decades. He birded Tennessee, US, and all over the
world. In his last couple of years he birded Florida extensively as well.
He was a mentor to many including myself. If I had not had the fortune of
being his next door neighbor, I likely would not have enjoyed this pastime
and the resulting friendships all these years. For that I am truly grateful.
Arrangements have not been made at this time.
