An Afternoon with Nancy Tanner

Nancy Tanner in Atlanta, 11 March 2007

Nancy Tanner saw five ivorybills with then-fiance James Tanner at the Singer Tract more than 65 years ago. A few of us took a break from the swamp to attend her delightful Atlanta Audubon Society presentation on March 11. It was a real treat, including great archival motion picture footage and her personal recollections and descriptions of the birds' calls and double knocks. She is hopeful about the Choctawhatchee, and wished us luck. Thank you, Mrs. Tanner, for a wonderful afternoon.
