A clutch of the latest stories from Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance
The latest Madison Audubon newsletter featured some wonderful news and newcomers. Our two teams of interns have started their summer work at our sanctuaries. At Goose Pond: Emma Thogmartin, Katie Porubcan, Maurisa (Mo) Perez, Paul Millan, Krister Martensson and at Faville Grove: Josh Brazee, Olivia Granec, Samuel Guerra, Lexi Kohn, Grace Lezotte, and Mikael Rohou. FABULOUS FOR US AND THEM.

That's part of our job as Madison Audubon staff, volunteers, members, and friends. We have to hope and act on the hope that we can preserve, protect, and strengthen much of our natural world.
The natural world shares that hope. Think of what our bird friends are up to these days. What's more hopeful than nesting?
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.
