Marie Winn wrote about her extensively in her Pale Male book. She was an institution. She did so much for birding. I knew she was terminally ill. So sad to lose a treasure like Starr.

Would that all of us could do the same. Title: Re: Death of Central Park Bird Guide Post by: Kris G. on 10-Feb-13, 09:38:55 AM I had read about her not too long ago. She was quite a lady and such a sad loss for so many.
