RIP Starr Saphir, Birder


Sadly, one of the major personalities featured in this wonderful doc passed away in February, 2013. She lead the birders to view and encounter the numerous species of avian life in Central Park for over thirty years and her philosophy toward the birder practice is so well recorded. What a loss to the community of this marvelous spirited woman.

How do you know a bird died?

Awe, I was hoping she could keep birding, but she did speak about her health in the documentary. RIP and her is an article I found about her: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/10/nyregion/starr-saphir-bird-watching-guide-in-central-park-dies-at-73.html?_r=0

Dang. That's sad. Thanks for the info, though. I just watched the movie last night and I was wondering...
