As the year 2023 approaches an end, let's look at some of the truly amazing bird photographs that have been taken in recent weeks and months by our members:

Remembering Dan Perkuchin

One of the Augusta Bird Club's most devoted members, Dan Perkuchin, passed away last month. He had been active in the club since at least 2010, regularly participating in field trips, editing the 2016 edition of Birds of Augusta County, and playing a key role in the annual Christmas Bird Count and other bird surveys. He was known for being extremely careful in his record-keeping, and was a very kind and generous human being as well. His life of service was commemorated on December 2 at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Waynesboro, and Bonnie Hughes shared some of her memories of birding with Dan. We are grateful for all that he did for the Augusta Bird Club over the years, and we will miss him very much.
