Birders,
I have recently
made the acquaintance of one of the pioneers of DNA research in ornithology,
Jon Ahlquist. Jon was the co-developer (with Charles Sibley) of the
Sibley–Ahlquist taxonomy of birds, and co-author of the book, Phylogeny
and Classification of the Birds: A Study in Molecular Evolution.
Jon is elderly and presently struggling with some
serious health problems. Due to some resultant needs, Jon has decided to
make available to interested parties in the birding/ornithological community,
several of his pieces of original bird art.
Jon has painted for several
decades, producing a small number of works for individual clients who would see
his works in the Bird Room and his office at Yale University.
Most of his works are in private collections in the US, but a few have been
sold to individuals in Belfast, Northern Ireland; Edinburgh, Scotland;
Jyväskylä, Finland; and Johannesburg, RSA.
If you are interested in pursuing this
further, please contact me off-list and I will provide you Jon’s contact
information.
Thanks.
