details. He had been collecting ornithological data especially historical birding info for Wilbarger Co and surrounding areas for several years.. We were in touch for a good while as my childhood hometown was in Odell Texas about 12 miles north of Vernon and I still retain an interest in what goes on up there. We never met in person. I am so sorry to hear he has passed so young, taking his birding knowledge of that area along with him. We discussed a few historical things that likely no other birder/naturalist in Texas will ever know or has known about...IE birding the wind breaks and banks of the Red River.. Thanks for letting us know. My thoughts are with his family and friends. ********************************************************************** Brush Freeman 503-551-5150 Cell 120 N. Red Bud Trail.
