When the Mad Birders participated in the Audubon Christmas Bird Count back in December, the Fayston Team was followed by a reporter and a photographer from the Associated Press whose story you can read here. The story was picked up by newspapers all over the country. Imagine our surprise when a letter addressed simply to Jeannie Elias Fayston, Vt. (no street address or zip code) arrived from an interested birder in the tiny town of Cable, Ohio, who had seen the article in her local paper. Read Kay Short’s very sweet letter.
