Thanks for posting Bobby's passing to the birding community. Living in Western NY, I have not made it down to Region 10 for birding as often as I would like. And yet, serendipitously I ran into Bobby three times on those rare occasions when I did, which shows how active a birder he was. He was very helpful with lots of good information about where to go to look for birds in the area. He seemed like a bit of a character, certainly someone most people would remember upon meeting. He talked a lot and I liked him and enjoyed birding with him. The last time I saw him he picked out a Western Sandpiper at Jamaica Bay for me and my friends, which was very much appreciated. My condolences to you, Pat and Shai, and to the entire NYC/Long Island birding community. May he rest in peace.
Good birding to all, Willie ------------------ Willie D'Anna Wilson, NY dannapotterATroadrunner.com -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
