Those not in attendance at the Memphis Chapter TOS February meeting missed an
excellent program presented by state president Ron Hoff. To say that Ron's
cleverly titled presentation, "Chicken Hunting in Colorado: Feathers, Friends,
and Fun" was well received would be understatement. Ron not only chronicled
their April 2013 trip, but took his audience (all 50+ individuals) along with
him, wife Dollyann, and members Martha Waldron and Susan McWhirter to relive
their trek to the Centennial State in search of specialties including the newly
recognized species, Gunnison's Sage Grouse. Woven among breathtaking slides of
birds and scenery were Ron's tips on using eBird to plan a trip, detailed
information about viewing birds on a lek, and lively demonstrations of the male
Sage Grouse's unique courtship displays and vocalizations. The trip finale
included a fun reunion with another chapter member Dianne Poore, now living in
Colorado Springs. Following the program Ron and Dollyann greeted folks, shared
more stories, and answered all manner of questions.
Thank you to Ron for a delightful evening which also included the enrolling of
five new TOS members!
