Some Sterling convention photos

[Tom Wilberding]

Hello birders,

Barb and I had a great time at CFO’s 52^nd annual convention in Sterling. Thanks to all who made this fun and educational event possible:

Bill Kaempfer--convention chair and field trip organizer
Jon Dunn--keynote speaker, field trip leader, teacher, and superb storyteller
Christy Carello--paper session organizer and young birder mentor. Thanks very much to all paper session contributors
Joe Roller—awards and welcome committee
Larry Modesitt—exhibitors. Thanks to all of Larry’s exhibitors for coming to Sterling
Christian Nunes--“Jeopbirdie” ID contest
Lisa Edwards--t-shirt design and sales, Welcome Picnic/registration greeter and answer person
Brenda Linfield and David Gillilan, online registration management, website
Ted Floyd--promotion, field trip coaching, paper presenter
What did I do? Preliminary scouting, local contacts, nametags, recording income & expenses
An excellent roster of expert, volunteer field trip leaders
Private property hosts--Peggy and Kent Swedlund, Skip Dines of Riverside Reservoir, and The Nature Conservancy’s Fox Ranch
Mayor Dan Torres, Jr., who welcomed us to Sterling at Thursday’s picnic
Steger BBQ for the Welcome Picnic and Ramada Inn for the banquet
Our 180 registrants, including about 25 from out-of-state
Many others—forgive my forgetfulness but thanks to all of you

Here are some convention photos Barb & I took. I hope other photographers will post more pics of Sterling soon.
