The finding of a Brewer's Sparrow at Perce, PQ, thought to be the
subspecies taverneri, and the reporting of this in the weekly ABA Rare Bird
Alert,

http://blog.aba.org/2014/10/rare-bird-alert-october-17-2014.html

albeit mis-spelled, led Rick Wright to link to a charming biography of P.
A. Taverner. Taverner seems to have been the first Dominion Ornithologist
and I expect there are number of us that can remember his "Birds of Canada"
(1934) with coloured plates. This copy of the 1948 article from The Auk
would be a nice weekend read for some.
