Compilers
The Compilers:In pursuing their love of birds and ornithology, Prospect residents Paul and Carol McAllister established a bird-watching log dating from 2008 through 2012. Until their move from the City, they led numerous bird watching treks at all seasons of the year, often working in concert with the Beckham Bird Club of Louisville.
The Beckham Bird Club was organized in 1935 and named for Charles Wickcliffe Beckham, the first native Kentuckian to achieve a national reputation as an ornithologist. Information on their organization and its activities can be found at www.beckliambirdclub.org.
