Retired Lafayette College Prof. of Biology. Birdwatcher, subspecies "lister-twitcher". Goals: 1) To see at least one species in each of the 248 (now 253 as of 8/2024) bird families on the 8/2021 eBird/Clements list; goal met in August, 2022, with the Malaysian Rail-babbler in Borneo; 2) To see half of the known bird species on the planet - I'm now at 6478 out of about 11,500. I also study stimuli provoking surface and sub-surface feeding attempts in salmonid fishes in the USA’s Rocky Mountains; Philistines call it "fly-fishing for trout out West". Favorite quotation: "It ain't what a man don't know as makes him a fool, but what he DOES know as ain't so!" (Josh Billings, Henry W. Shaw's pen-name).
