#yiv8566033918 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}I'm so sorry to hear that,
Kevin. Ned got in touch with me just three months ago, and I was helping him
arrange a trip to the Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico. I'm just amazed. He
was so full of life.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Former Ithaca birder Ned Brinkley has passed I just
got a phone call from former Cornell undergrad and super birder Adam Byrne that
our good friend Ned Brinkley died today in Ecuador on a birding trip. No
details except he was hiking up a trail, got short of breathe, sat down and
died. For those of you who were around in the 1990s, you will remember that Ned
Brinkley was an irresistible force of nature who transformed the birding
community here. He was getting his Ph.D. in German, but spent all his daylight
hours birding. I think he only slept about 4 hours a night. When he was in
charge of the Cayuga Bird Club field trips, and they were trying to decide on
whether to have them on Saturdays or Sundays, Ned decided that we would do them
on BOTH days, and he would lead them. He taught the Lab’s World Series of
Birding team, the Sapsuckers, how to win, turning us from a middle-of-the-pack
team to champions! I’m not going to do an obituary tonight. I just wanted to
get the word out. I know there are people on this list that knew Ned in the
day, and will be saddened to learn of his death. Kevin Kevin J. McGowan, Ph.D.
