Dear birders,
It is hard for me to write this but I feel I must report that my long-time birding friend and companion in the field, Bill Watson, died this morning after a short illness. Bill was probably the most active birder in the Buffalo Ornithological Society and contributed more sightings to the BOS Noteworthy Records than anyone. He was very active in the field and in the BOS right up until he was suddenly taken ill. I don't have all the details but I believed he died of Sepsis, or complications thereof. Bill will be sorely missed by the birding community and especially by those who knew him well.
