Decatur Audubon Society
A Selection of Newsletter Articles
Among our members we have artists, poets, and writers. We have chosen to include here some articles and poems written by our members and some illustrations by members. Links below will take you to the full text of the article or poem, or to the listed drawings.

Pat Quintenz, one of our expert birders, has been a regular contributor to Decatur Audubon's newsletter for many years. Her wry sense of humor is a delight. Lois Rice, an artist, and a member of Decatur Audubon for more than 25 years, lives on a farm, and even though she and her husband travel, her pieces are often about the birds near home. Lois herself did the illustrations for one of her swallows pieces. Ron Shafer, our published poet, has done book reviews and other prose for us as well as poetry. Myrna Deaton, another expert birder, wrote about the Black Skimmer seen near Lake Decatur. Expert (and determined) birder Ross Thompson's article tells of difficulties encountered on a trip to see eagles. We have other occasional contributors as well. Enjoy!
