It is with sadness that we note the passing of Lloyd Spitalnik earlier this week. Although we were aware that he had been facing some health issues, we had not been in touch recently and were surprised by this terrible news.
Although less active in recent years, Lloyd was for decades a prominent, deeply respected, and much loved figure in the New York birding community, especially noted for his world-class photography. He will be greatly missed, not only for his talents, but for his sharp wit and gruff humor. Always a key figure at the Jamaica Bay Shorebird Festival, which this year will be held on Sunday, 17 August, Lloyd will be there this time in our thoughts and in our hearts. We are not yet aware of funeral or remembrance details, but wanted to share this sad news with the greater birding community.
