I went birding with Bob O'Dear quite a few times in TN, the US and Costa  
Rica and hearing of his passing comes as a great shock. Did he still reside 
in  Nashville?

I was inform today that Bob O'Dear past away in his home  last Wednesday.  
Bob owned Observ Bird Tours for many years.  Bob  gave me a huge break a few 
years ago by asking me to lead his Colorado, Texas  Big Bend / Fort Davis, 
Minnesota and Manitoba / Churchill field trips. I will  always consider Bob 
the person who helped me branch out and organize field  trips away from 
Duluth, Minnesota.  If it wasn't for Bob I would of never  gotten to bird 
places 
like Colorado, Texas and Churchill.  The biggest  award for me was that I 
was able to guide the last few trips for ObServ Tours  before Bob retired and 
closed up shop.

Other than ObServ Tours, I  remember Bob being a huge hockey fan and a 
spiritual person who read his bible  every night before going to bed.  Bob was 
never shy in sharing his  opinion on most topics but he always had a way to 
make you laugh as  well.

Thank You Bob for everything! I will miss  you.

Mike
