After a full life of civil rights activism, accumulating scads of money in business, and photographing more birds than most people ever see, Theodore Cross has died at the age of 86. Like all birders, he knew he was condemned to not seeing every bird on the planet and, like all birders, accepted that fate. He wrote his own epitaph:
He Passed on
To a Better World
Still Waiting for
A Perfect Picture
Of a Reddish Egret.
