MINNEAPOLIS -- A man deeply involved in the raptor project that led to the popular "eagle cam" in Decorah, Iowa, has reportedly died while helping neighbors in north Minneapolis clean up after Sunday's tornados.

A post on the Raptor Resource Project webpage Monday reported the death of Rob MacIntyre, President of the project.

"I have some bad news. Rob MacIntyre has passed away," wrote webmaster Amy Ries. "Rob was the President of the Raptor Resource Project. He was very involved in our work, rappelled with us, and established a new falcon nest last year at Riverview Towers. Rob gave me (Amy) rappel lessons at his home in North Minneapolis, using a large tree in his yard. He was a great guy, always very enthusiastic and encouraging, and he sure loved to rappel. He caught Amy when we were banding at Greysolon in 2006 and named her "Amy" (she was an unbanded adult falcon). We have many great memories of Rob and are shocked and saddened by his passing."

The RRP's Facebook page is stacked with tributes to MacIntyre and the impact he made with his life. 

So sad.

That was really sad.  I so feel for his wife dealing with losing Rob and the tornado damage.  I met Rob a few times at bandings and he was so much fun besides having so much experience and knowledge.  He did a lot besides getting the peregrines started again and eagles............
