I have memberships in Bird Banding, Inland Bird Banding Association, 
Eastern Bird Banding Association, and the William I. Lyon Bird Banding 
Council. 
I have been president, vice president and treasurer of Inland Bird 
Banding and have held the office of president, vice president, and am at 
present secretary-treasurer of the Lyon Bird-Banding Council. 
My main project at present is with Chickadees. I need help to try to 
solve the mystery of why so many chickadees of mine are not trapped in 
consecutive winters. Many are banded one year and are not retrapped until 
four, five, or even six years later. These chickadees should be captured 
every winter but aren’t.
