Hi, everyone!

My name is Lin Westgard and I am the new Alaska Bird Club President for 2010.

I look forward to meeting all the new members and to encourage non-members to join and become part of our club. Our first meeting will be a meet-and-greet roundtable to talk about who we are and the birds who own us. Then we will discuss what we hope to accomplish in the upcoming year and what we’d like to learn about. Aviculture is a never-ending study; parrots continue to prove old theories wrong and make history by doing things never recorded before. It’s always exciting and challenging.

The bird club’s mission is to try to stay on top of these changes and get the updated information out to current members as well as prospective bird owners

I hope to see you at the meetings and please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions. My personal e-mail is westgard@gci.net. Happy birding, and may your holidays be joyful and safe!

-- Lin Westgard, President
