I echo what everyone has said about Roger. A really good man. The few
times our paths crossed were memorable to me. The first being at the crux
of summiting Mt Wilson. He made sure that I got up the crux and down
safely.
Condolences to Brenda and all family!

delighted to see three bird species new

amazing bird for Colorado, that I doubt will show up again any time soon.

Colorado has lost a great one, as Roger Linfield yesterday lost an
eight-month battle to cancer. He rose to the top (literally and
figuratively) in many fields. Birders and Peak-baggers know him as the
seventh person in the Fourteener/400 Club, reached after he climbed all of
the 14,000’
