Like everyone who knew Bob Spencer, I was sad to hear of his passing. Anyone who has done or witnessed up close lengthy care-giving by one human for another should have deep admiration for the role of Robert, Jr. over the last many years. The collective laughter and groans Bob was responsible for would drown out the cranes in Grand Island, NE. It think it was the 1990s up at the observation point on Hamilton Reservoir when a bunch of us were quietly scoping the water in hopes of spotting a constantly diving, true to its alternative name, Yellow-billed Diver. No noise except for the shuffling of feet and cold breathing. Then up rises a squeaky sing-song ditty, "Out in the boonies, lookin' for some loonies". Guess who? Those sharing Bob's current existence are probably giving him distance, but I bet they're smiling. I am glad Colorado bird groups honored Bob with various awards before we lost him.
