thank you Anthony-
this is part of an article posted by NBC News today about climate change
as it relates to small birds. i immediately thought of you. thanks
again for all your hard and important work.
In some ways, though, ornithologists are in a unique position. They can
tap a deep well of historical data thanks to amateur birdwatchers — a
particularly passionate and dedicated group of citizen scientists — said
Robert Rockwell, a research associate in the American Museum of Natural
History’s ornithology department, who was not part of the warbler study.
“A number of studies get published based on birding observations,”
Rockwell said of birdwatchers. “They’re a peculiar group because they
become fanatics ... They become absolutely religious about keeping
records and they’re quite willing to share those records with you.”

“life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly
proclaiming-WOW-WHAT A RIDE!”
