On July 26, 2014, friends, family, colleagues and avian advocates from around the world gathered at Fort Mason in San Francisco to say goodbye to International Bird Rescue executive director Jay Holcomb, who passed away on June 10 at age 63. It was an afternoon of laughter, tears, friendship and fond remembrances.
Our guests came from five continents and seven countries: the US, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and the UK. Here are just some of the photos taken by our own Cheryl Reynolds (roll over image for photo caption).
