Janet was smart, funny, and kind. I am really going to miss her. Janet led
me to the Montgomery Bird Club. In addition to birds, she was passionate
about democracy and conservation. Our last communication just a few months
ago was about stream restoration. At the same time she sent around a
hilarious blogpost on ridiculous (real) bird feeder ads showing parrots and
cardinals at the same feeder. What a loss.
