Goodness. With apologies to the other natural scientists out there, Colibri was one of a kind. Was truly a treasure to have such ready contact with such an expert. ---

I am so sorry. This is a loss to the birds, to everyone who knew him, and to the boards. I was worried about his apparent disorientation in the sunrise thread; but he seemed more coherent in later posts in it, and sounded like he was getting medical care. ---

My condolences to his family and friends, to the rest of the residents of this community, and to the birds who will now forever go unidentified to me, prompting me to say stupid identifiers like “that orange one with the ugly feet and bad attitude.” ---
