Each annual meeting of the Wilson Ornithological Society opens with a plenary by the recipient of that year’s Margaret Morse Nice Medal. We are delighted to announce that this year, the medal winner and lecturer is Chris Rimmer of the Vermont Center for Ecostudies. His plenary lecture will be titled “Bicknell’s Thrush: Scientific surprises and conservation connections across the hemisphere.” More details will be forthcoming in the next few weeks, but please join us congratulating Chris—we look forward to his talk in Santa Fe!
