It is with deep sadness, that I report that Paul Garrity passed last
Friday. I do not know the details, although I know he had been battling
cancer for some time. For some of you that are new to the listserv, you
may not know that it was Paul who started the Maine Bird listserv. He
also has a great web site, mainebirding.net. He truly was the pioneer
in bringing Maine Birding to the new medium of listservs and the
internet. Paul was an excellent photographer. His photographs of
birds, flowers and nature are exceptional. He especially enjoyed
photographing Scarborough Marsh.
Besides his interest in birds, Paul gave back to others in many ways.
He provided Maine Audubon and other nonprofits with many photographs for
brochures, web sites etc. He also always came to the Scarborough Marsh
clean-up. He would bring his truck and haul the heavy loads.
I will miss his warm smile and his kind and generous spirit.
