The Crow Patrol has lost a dear friend in the recent passing of Bob Fox, age 97, who was with us from the very beginning. Bob was endlessly fascinated by the Crows and, together with his beloved wife Dana, spent many cold winter nights observing and enjoying the remarkable activity around the staging areas and overnight roosting trees along the Merrimack River. He brought decades of expertise in counting large numbers of birds and made a lasting contribution to our official Winter Crow Roost Counting Guide. A true hall-of-famer in the birding world, Bob’s sharp eye, generous spirit, and love for the natural world will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
