I remember Tom. I became interested in birds early, but when I heard about Tom and the bluebirds, I managed to arrange a visit to their beautiful place in Bedford. I saw feeders full of goldfinches, one on every peg! And he showed me best locations, and orientations of bluebird houses. He told me how the bugs the parents feed get larger every day, and that he could tell about how old the babies were just buy seeing what the adults were bringing to the nest. When he opened the top and I saw the bluebird babies for the first time, I felt a sense of awe and like I was in the presence of something holy. Then Tom placed a baby bird in my hand. Unforgettable. Rest in peace, Tom Meyer. And thank you for all the joy you helped the world to see.
