摘要

In 1971, a young ornithologist presented his first paper at a Wilson Ornithological Society meeting on Dauphin Island, Alabama. This first paper compared the breeding biology of Red-bellied (Melanerpes carolinus) and Red-headed (M. erythrocephalus) woodpeckers; thus his passion for woodpeckers and his enthusiasm for the Wilson Ornithological Society have been intertwined from early in his ornithological career.
