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
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."
