President's Letter Spring 2026
President's Letter Spring 2026
April showers bring migrating birds back to Massachusetts! And we are so glad to see them on their way north. Our spring walks explore venues, some of which we have been doing for over 70 years, and some of which are new this year. There is a 78 year history of walks with the Merrimack Valley Bird Club. If you have memories of when you started exploring with MVBC or how you discovered birding, please share them with us. There are plans afoot to put together an MVBC history and your "aha" moment would be wonderful to document or share!
This spring I am stepping down as President to allow the entusiastic Zoltan Poleretzky an opportunity to be elected and begin leading our club. I plan to keep working on the website and will add an "Aha Moment" section to share how our members found birding and the MVBC. I hope you'll share your story.
