Terrible news indeed. Just yesterday I was working on a project involving his
work that he would have liked to see--he was so important as a TN birder but
only a few know he was among the very best state birders in a national (ABA
area) sense. There are very few people like him no matter what state or
province
we are talking about. A profoundly important loss for birders and the entire
birding community.

Jeff Wilson was such an inspiration to hundreds of birders from many different
states. His contributions to Tennessee birding are tremendous. He took us all
under his wing. He never stopped teaching us in the field, no matter how many
years we birded together or how many thousands of shorebirds we had observed.
Jeff shared his amazing knowledge of birds with everyone who would listen. I
always felt honored to go birding with Jeff. His death is a great loss to
birding and to all of us who called him "Friend".
