> There is a lengthy article in today's Tampa Tribune about Glen Woolfenden

> from Eckerd College traveled to USF to hear him talk on "Beaks and Feet".
> Shortly after, our class traveled to Archbold to meet Glen and the Jays
> (not a '60's rock band). Within a year, along with Wes Biggs, I became a
> regular visitor to his lab at USF and his home in Temple Terrace. Glen was
> the best field ornithologist I have ever meet, but he was always asking me
> what I thought and engaged in exchanges of information although he had the
> Phd and I was only a "birder". I spent many an hour in the field on
> Christmas Bird Counts with Glen. You always started in a marsh, cold and
> wet, before the sun came up, and you had to get ALL the marsh birds
> (failure was unacceptable)! He was the most competative CBC birder I ever
> met - our party must be #1 (once again, failure was unacceptable). I am

> Placid CBC. Bill Pranty, Glen, and I spent the day on the ranches and

> missed by two. If my memory serves me well, Glen did his first CBC at age
> nine. I'm glad I was with him on the last one almost seventy years later.
