i am very sad to report the passing of long time KTOS member Boyd Sharp..Boyd was a great friend to many birders around our area and will be greatly missed in the birding community..he died yesterday the 29th after a long illness..on a personal note,Boyd and I spent a lot of time birding and doing Christmas counts,he always wanted to get it right when identifying birds.He was a great mentor to myself and many others..services are pending..check the Knoxville newspaper for details..we now have lost two great birders and personalities with passing recently of Nancy Tanner and now Boyd..Boyd would want those who knew him to"always remember to look up".. as he told me many,many times..goodbye my dear friend
