LEADER MESSAGES & MEMORIES Recently, we began receiving messages and notes from our tour leaders. You will be hearing directly from VENT tour leaders, with simple expressions of hope and well wishes while others will relate prized memories from past tours or remarkable experiences in birding and in nature. I hope that these messages will brighten your days while serving as sources of hope and inspiration until we can again be together doing what we
love: being out in nature, birding, and sharing these passions with others.
