Re: [Maine-birds] Guillemot newsletter

Thank you Bill for all your contributions to our birding knowledge in Maine. I hope someone from the next generation will step up and carry the branch, Tammy

Unless I missed it, I am surprised no one has mentioned Bill Townsend
and the Guillemot newsletter. Bill has compiled, written, edited this
newsletter for many, very many, years and he is now hanging up his hat.
In the days before the internet his newsletter was invaluable in
learning what was being seen around the state. His Christmas Bird Count
summaries showed all the counts in the state and were always most
informative. I am sure Peter Vickery utilized these newsletters for all
the pre-internet records and then some. I want to thank Bill for the
wonderful service he provided the entire state birding community for
many years. Bill, great job, thank you so much.
