CTBirds Moderators changing-of-the-guard on 9/1
CTBirds is the Connecticut birding community’s place for rare bird alerts
and birding discussions. This mailing list is one of the most important
services the Connecticut Ornithological Association (COA) provides.
Dear Birders,
Roy Harvey has been running our CTbirds listserv as the primary moderator
non-stop since he helped get it started in 2007.
Roy began his work for Connecticut birding when he started taking over the
daily rare bird report from Dori Sosenksy in 2004. He handled that solo
for many years until its demise in 2015. But it was this CTBirds mailing
list that he helped establish in 2007, and moderated since, that has been
his greatest contribution.
The participation of Connecticut birders has made CTBirds the success it
has been, and Roy’s stewardship has been key to that success. Roy will be
retiring from his full time moderating duties at the end of August. Let's
thank Roy for all those years of non-stop service to Connecticut birders!
Roy, you have done an extraordinary job supporting one of COA’s most
essential services. Thank you!
Chuck Imbergamo will be taking over from Roy as moderator on September 1,
2021, so let's welcome Chuck to this crucial job! Chuck is a long-time
Connecticut birder (sparked by a 1970s Great Gray Owl) and is enthusiastic
about helping COA and Connecticut birders by moderating the CTBirds
listserv. Thank you, Chuck.
Roy and Chuck have been overlapping closely for the last two months, so
Chuck is already hitting the ground running.
Less visibly but equally important, Steve Morytko manages back-end support
for CTBirds, COA's website and membership services, and many other COA
IT-related resources. Thank you, Steve.
CTBirds is a free service supported by COA members. Please consider
joining COA if you are not already a member.

THANK YOU, ROY!
Wow — and I’ve really admired how you’ve done it.
Thanks!

Tough job executed flawlessly! Thank you for your years of service as this list has been key in learning so much for myself and I’m sure hundreds of others! Some days I’m sure it was no easy task so thank you!
I think sone of us met Roy’s successor Saturday in New London? Good Luck! And thanks for taking this on!

Thanks you Roy and all the people who've reported to this list. It's been much appreciated and I hope it won't disappear like other lists have. Kudos to everyone.

Dear Roy,
I'd like to join the throng of grateful birders thanking you for your years of running CTBirds. Hartford Audubon has welcomed many new birders over these years, in large part due to the supportive community CTBirds has fostered. Thank you for orchestrating a welcoming, positive, informative resource for all of our members and enthusiasts. You will be missed! And welcome/thanks to Chuck. We love CTBirds.

I would like to and my thanks to Roy. I have great memories of listening to the Rare Bird Alert years ago. Ct Birds has been such a wonderful source of infofmation and sometimes entertainment. Thank you Roy. Also, a few times Roy has personally helped me. I assume other as well. Thanks and best wishes.
