If anyone from the Duluth area is interested in carpooling with me to Gary Duke's funeral tomorrow in St. Paul, let me know.
Gary was co-founder of The Raptor Center, with his student Pat Redig, was one of the world's leading authorities on bird digestion, and was a great man. I have information about him and links to his obituary in the Strib and to the article about him in the St. Paul Pioneer Press here: http://birderblog.com/post.php?id=1453 Laura Erickson Duluth, MN Staff Ornithologist Binoculars.com www.birderblog.com There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter. --Rachel Carson
