Remembering Friend and SCAS Member Susan Bird

By Pat Meyer

Susan Bird was president of Indian River Audubon from 1991-1993. Her husband, Ralph, was president from 1996-1998.

Susan was a woman of many talents. She was an avid quilter and belonged to quilting clubs.

She worked in real estate for many years.

She worked on a committee to beautify Rockledge.

She organized many Audubon birding trips, including trips to Venezuela, Tobago Trinidad, Peru, Belize, and many trips to Mexico. In 1984, one of our first trips was to Ft. Jefferson in the Tortugas, we boated from Key West.

She also organized a wonderful trip from her house with snacks and we got on a bus to Orlando to see the movie "Winged Migration".

Her mother was the SCAS hostess for some years.

Susan help out at the Cocoa Christmas count potluck supper this year, but passed away a few weeks later. She looked so good at Christmas.

They had a wonderful tribute to her at Susan Nesbitt's house on Tropical Trail; over 100 attended in the back yard on the river. Many spoke of remembrances of Susan.
