Golden Gate Bird Alliance  is grieving….  We’ve lost our friend and an esteemed Board Member who passed away unexpectedly on December 20, 2015.  Allen Hirsch helped advance our work in numerous ways, including with his much admired photographic skills.

You’re invited to view some of Allen’s wonderful bird photographs in an online memorial gallery:
