Subject: [MDBirding] Starr Saphir



I just finished reviewing (a rave review) 'Birders: the Central Park effect' for "Library Journal," in which Starr Saphir has the lead role, shared with Jonathan Franzen, John Fitzpatrick, Jonathan Rosen, Marie Winn, et al. and c. 140 species of beautifully videod birds. She led hundreds of bird walks in the park, was stricken with breast cancer. More species of birds have been seen in the park than in most Eastern Shore MD counties that front Chesapeake Bay. Rest in peace Starr Saphir. - Harry Armistead, Philadelphia.
