Hi All,
(Thanks to Andy Stepniewski's comments.)
We only spoke with Wayne Weber on a few occasions, but whenever he had anything to say on Tweeters about the bird situation in Washington my ears always perked up.  Not only because of his immense body of knowledge but also because he was an independent thinker who felt no need to hew to any party-line. An example is Waynes's recent scoffing at statements attributed to the Salmon restoration effort at Wylie Slough on Tweeters. I think we are going to need more people with these qualities in the future, not fewer.
Delia and I are very saddened by the birding community's loss of Wayne Weber..
Best wishes,
Ed Newbold
