Check out this Vintage Audubon Society pin!
Thanks to Moira who sent in the picture of this pin she found along with her story:
“Your kind mention of me on your podcast inspired a small quest to find the lapel pin I was given as a child. It was received during a talk Roger Tory Peterson gave in the mid-1960s. The evening session was in a small, basement room at the Smithsonian—the audience was probably only 20 people because there wasn’t a huge interest in topics like that back then.
On your podcast, you said it would be neat to see the pin I mentioned. I wasn’t sure I would ever see it again, but knew I wouldn’t have intentionally thrown it out because of how much that event meant to me as a child.
Thank you so much Moira, listeners out there feel free to chat with me anytime about birds!
