Dear New York Birders, I learned yesterday that Bob May passed away on Monday.
Bob was a long-time Long Island birder and a dear friend of many. It was always a pleasure to meet him in the field--whether it was a reunion between old friends, or, for newer birders who had never met him before, as a positive influence and a helpful voice (with glorious New England accent!) of experience. I know I valued his kindness to me in my first meetings with him, when I was getting started birding on Long Island. >From Dave Klauber and Norm Klein I learned that the wake will be at Rocky >Point Funeral Home, 603 Route 25A, Rocky Point, Suffolk County, with visiting >hours on Friday from 2-4 and 7-9. With sorrow but also with many warm memories, Shai Mitra Bay Shore -- 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/ --
