AST
was formed as a bird club in 1983, with its first elected President Robert
McCord, who is currently an Honorary Member. Two other people
important in getting this club on its feet were Bill Cook (deceased)
and Vern Wilson. Our many thanks to all of the great folks who have
worked through the years to help make AST what it is
today
Never been to a bird club meeting?
We meet the 2nd Sunday of every month and
would love to have you stop in and visit. It matters not if you
are from out of state. Many
of our members are on the internet and can help you locate a bird
club in your area when you return home.
