Sending out some loving thoughts to the family of Sid Crawford. I did not know he had passed. I did not know Sid well. I do remember how good looking he was as a young man. I was closer to his sister, Susan. I remember visiting the Crawford home many times. Dinners there were always good. I especially remember hamburgers. They were the best !!! ~Cynthia Craig Shear~
A true gentleman in so many ways.
I have many fond memories of counting shorebirds and seabirds on Three Rooker and Honeymoon islands with Sid. He was passionate about protecting beach-nesting birds from disturbance and educating island visitors about nesting biology of each species. He will be missed by birds and people alike.
I traveled with Sid and the Clearwater Audubon Society t RIPo Israel several years ago and as a newbie to birding I greatly appreciated his willingness to share his extensive knowledge and his wry sense of humor. Lynn Crippen
