Welcome to behind the scenes at New Hampshire Bird Records! It takes a team of many dedicated volunteers and many hours to produce a single issue of New Hampshire Bird Records.

Managing Editor

Leading the team effort is Rebecca Suomala, the Managing Editor, a full time staff member of New Hampshire Audubon. Becky has been the leader in promoting the growth of New Hampshire Bird Records since 1989. She is helped in her efforts by a group of committed volunteers who are an important part in creating a quality publication for our loyal subscribers.

Season Editors

Season Editors spend countless hours reviewing hundreds of bird reports to select the ones that typify their season. They encapsulate the bird sightings of an entire season in their season summaries. Avid birders themselves, they also spend a great deal of time in the field adding to their birding knowledge.

Spring - Pam Hunt from Penacook is also a biologist for New Hampshire Audubon. Pam is involved in many national and regional bird conservation partnerships. Her other major interest is the distribution and conservation of dragonflies and damselflies.
Summer - Tony Vazzano is a long-time bird reporter from the Sandwich area. He also doubles as our weatherman.
Fall - Stephen Mirick formerly of New Hampshire, but now living in Massachusetts, has covered the Fall season since 1989.
Winter - David Deifik who joined us in 2001 is originally from Queens, New York. He became very involved with organized birding after he settled in Tucson, Arizona. He now resides in Nashua and is a member of several birding groups.
