There is a fine and very readable biography of Taverner published as a spec=
ial issue of the Canadian Field-Naturalist about 15 years ago. Can't.  easi=
ly resurrect the reference here on the opposite side of the Atlantic, but m=
aybe I can come up with it later.

The finding of a Brewer's Sparrow at Perce, PQ, thought to be the subspecie=
s taverneri, and the reporting of this in the weekly ABA Rare Bird Alert,

http://blog.aba.org/2014/10/rare-bird-alert-october-17-2014.html

albeit mis-spelled, led Rick Wright to link to a charming biography of P. A=
. Taverner. Taverner seems to have been the first Dominion Ornithologist an=
d I expect there are number of us that can remember his "Birds of Canada" (=
1934) with coloured plates. This copy of the 1948 article from The Auk woul=
d be a nice weekend read for some.
