Personal reflections and commentary on wild birds, birding, birders, birdwatching, and other natural history topics of interest

My fascination with birds dates to earliest childhood. Entries in my high school senior yearbook profess my interest in ornithology. Birds and their conservation were the focus of a 33-year career as a professional wildlife biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that took me from the westernmost Aleutian Islands to the political intrigue of Washington, D.C. In retirement, birds remain my constant obsession.

John - as we share an interest in ornithological history, I will drop off or send a copy of the book Mel Carriker wrote about his father, Meb Carriker, and Meb's life and expeditions in Colombia. Not brilliant prose, but compelling reading anyway. Mel just published a second book about Meb's expeditions in Bolivia. Let me know if you would like me to get a copy from Mel (no ethical issues - he isn't charging for them).
Ellen
Yes, thank you Ellen, I would be delighted to receive a copy of this book. I've heard about it, but have not yet seen it. Not making any promises here, but I might even be able to write a brief review of it, if time allows.
