We
are sad to announce the unexpected passing of Marilyn Rhodes. Marilyn
was a Denver Audubon Master Birder, graduating class of 2009-2010, a
wonderful field trip leader for Denver Audubon, a caring mentor to new
field trip leaders, and very active on our photo contest committee. She
led the Denver Botanic Gardens/Denver Country Club/Wash Park section of
the annual Christmas Bird Count on January 1. Our Executive Director has
fond memories of those New Year’s Day counts in freezing temperatures,
searching for as many birds as we could while enjoying the company of
the hardy group led by Marilyn and Bob Santangelo (her co-leader), who
had (Bob still has!) a great sense of humor.
