Since I am an avid birder, I have known a lot of them. Contrary to what my
good friend Gene Kridler has said on a number of occasions, I think that
most of them make a contribution to knowledge and to preservation of birds
and habitat. Some of them do tremendous things. One comes to mind who was a
tenured professor who gave that up to take a position of a part time
instructor at a university and spend most of his time going to rain forest
countries and working with their universities and raising money to support
ecological studies from those universities
