Sid and his wife Betty June have long been wonderful advocates for Piping Plover and other shorebirds and contributed an enormous amount to science and conservation in southwest NS, such as the designation of eastern Cape Sable Island as a globally significant Important Bird Area. I had trouble accessing the link to the online guestbook, but hopefully this link will work for others to share condolences: http://www.huskilson.net/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?o_id=3D2990520&fh_id=3D= 11285 Sue Abbott On Mon, Mar 2, 2015 at 10:55 AM, Eric Mills <E.Mills@dal.ca> wrote: > This is sad news for everone in the birding community.
