Many Birding-Aus members will have known Liz Kerr, who died on Tuesday 8
August after a short illness.
Liz was a staff member at Andrew Isles Natural History Books for about 18
years and has sold bird books to many of us. She was also active in the
VicGroup of the RAOU (Birds Australia) as a committee member for several
years, a frequent participant in campouts, and a regular member of the
Twitchathon team the Very Serious Birdwatchers despite a resolute refusal
to learn any bird calls except the Kookaburra and, on a good day, the
Rufous Whistler.
We have decided to sponsor the finches in the next volume of HANZAB as a
memorial to Liz - I think she'd seen them all except perhaps the Star
Finch. If any of her friends would like to contribute to this plan, please
get in touch with me.
