Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ned Brinkley
Rick I do not see any news here. Ned was such a force for all of us getting into birding in the early nineties. He was so generous with his knowledge, his tone and his absolutely boundless love for birds and nature, getting together with all of us newbies at the drop of a hat. Taking us far and wide and when something like weather interfered-with owling He would switch gears immediately and take us to Blue Grass Lane to look for migrating salamanders that would be brought out by the rain. Is there a link or something for what you are referencing?

[cayugabirds-l] Ned Brinkley
So sorry to hear this news. One of my favorite Ned stories: We invited him to give a Monday Night Seminar back in the old Lab building (and thus the old Fuertes Room). After introducing him, he said "I'm so honored to give a talk here in this room, the Sistine Chapel of Ornithology."
