oddly enough, that was the last time i saw him as well. we were watching
the snowy from the western intersection across from naval housing, he with
his scope, i with my camera... he was always offering his view to folks who
were wandering by, wondering at the commotion of a large white bird...

when we were at entiat this past september, the plan for placing martin
gourds along the causeway at juanita bay park was started... i hope those
plans can continue; i'll ask about restrictions there may be re a memorial
in the park if the gourds go in...

i'll always remember his selfless dedication and ready smile...

I am so sad to hear about Kevin. The last time I saw him, we shared a
scope and a wondrous view of the snowy owl at Discovery Park. Then we
hiked around talking about - what else? - nature. Kevin was one of the
most generous-spirited, truly kind people I've ever known. In his quiet
way, he made this world a better place and our birding community a
stronger one. When the purple martins come back this spring to the houses
that Kevin built, they will thrill and delight all who see them. We owe
Kevin our deepest gratitude for making that possible. - Connie
