Re: [cobirds] Dr. Alex Cruz

Thanks for letting us know this sad news, Scott. 

Dr. Cruz was an unassuming, gentle man, a teacher and mentor who touched the lives

of so many. 

I first met him on the last day of October, 1976, when he invited birders 

to visit his feeders in North Boulder to see a real rarity, a Cape May Warbler. 

That tiny, dull, drab, fall female got us pretty excited.

I last saw Alex at the 2010 CFO Convention, when he humbly accepted 

CFO's most prestigious award, the Ron Ryder Award. 

Please send us a link to any obituary or information about plans for a memorial service.

I was sorry to learn of the passing last month of Dr. Cruz, professor of ornithology/biology at the University of Colorado. He and his students have regularly contributed to the knowledge of birds in Colorado and beyond.

Here is a link to the Cruz lab highlighting some of the research.
