It is with great sadness that we note the passing of Dr. Paul Johnsgard on May 28, 2021, just days short of his 90th birthday. Ornithologist, scholar, and author of 104 books and countless articles, crusader for the environment, and personal friend, he will be missed by many of us who knew him in person or through his writings.

See the CBS News interview with Dr. Johnsgard and their feature on the spring 2014 Sandhill cranes migration here: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/bird-lovers-flock-to-witness-sandhill-crane-migration/.
