Hi all -- I just want to give a shout-out to Becky Marvil, who is the primary reason that Acadia Birding Festival on MDI is ever more successful each year. She is the prime motivator, tireless worker (months ahead of time) and engine behind every element of this popular weekend, and brings no attention to herself in that role.
ABF draws folks from all over Maine and the US, and generates a notable economic footprint for many businesses on MDI. Becky is the hustle behind recruiting the big-name birders who speak and guide walks, organizing the Maine-based army of tour leaders, creating the program, overseeing the logistics, coordinating the amazing food, and making camaraderie the thing that everybody else can focus on. Everything that works like a charm over this easy-going but very complicated celebration of birds and birding has her fingerprints on it.
Thanks Becky.
Craig
