What a loss! I am shocked - probably because I did not know he was ill. I often ran into Jim, especially likely when looking for gulls on the coldest days at Black Dog. I remember that he helped me during the great Slaty-backed Gull hunt a view years back. He was an avid birder who would go out of his way to help a "younger" Minnesota birder (though I was a year older!) Warren Woessner
