Subject: Re: [RV Birds] Abridged summary of - 1 update in 1 topic
I add my condolences to Norm's family, and my appreciation for his life. As
a member of the Falcons Birdathon team, I always looked forward to
competing (and trash-talking) with the Binosaurs -- though as a gentleman,
Norm was more given to self-deprecation than to trash-talk. One of my
favorite memories of Norm is hawk-watching at Modoc Point, where he always
brought his "marmot" - a toy stuffed mammal of indeterminate species raised
on a pole to attract strafing runs by migrating hawks. Like the "marmot,"
Norm was well-padded, tolerant, good-natured, and always welcome wherever
he went. He was a great member of our birding community, and will be sadly
missed.
