Kirk Moulton... that BroadwingSEPT guy -- it's fun to associate a face with all the email. Ironically, here Kirk is discussing the Broadwings of September... in October... beneath a sky of Ospreys, Accipiters, Merlins and Peregrines. And loving every minute of it.

Ron Austing and Dick Walton: You probably know Dick [right] from Birding by Ear or his new hawk video. He is indeed doing more hawk video at Cape May but also is knee-deep in the Monarch Butterfly banding project he originated here!
Who the heck is the other guy? You know Ron's bird photos. His four fledgling Screech Owls on a branch has been published over 300 times. His images have been on the cover of Audubon magazine many, many times. And you seen his bird pictures on calendars for decades. Maybe you or your kids have put together a jigsaw puzzle of one of his pictures. He is simply one of the most widely published bird photographers of the last thirty years!! |
