The good die too young

On Saturday, I learned that Marcia MacKenzie had just died. Her death was peaceful and she had her loving family with her but she died far too early. She had so much to give and do.

This is not the official Madison Audubon reflection on her life and contribution to birds, conservation, and the organization. Nor is it an obituary. Marcia had far too full, complex, and worthwhile life for me to capture it. I need to thank Marcia for some of the great good she did.

The best day of the Year

The best day of the Year

The 55 fourth graders of Madison's Lincoln Elementary School celebrated Earth Day a day early on Friday, April 21. They planted dozens of oak trees along Black Earth Creek and saw some of the storied inhabitants of the creek up close and personal.
