Hello dear birding community, Bruce Falls has passed away. Such sad news for all who knew him, and a loss for the birding community. He was instrumental in founding NCC and Birds Canada. He was the first president of Ontario Nature and the editor of the first atlas. He was humble and funny and so generous with everyone.
