- "Birds have wings; they’re free; they can fly where they want when they want. They have the kind of mobility many people envy."
- "I consider myself to have been the bridge between the shotgun and the binoculars in bird watching. Before I came along, the primary way to observe birds was to shoot them and stuff them."
- "Birds are indicators of the environment. If they are in trouble, we know we’ll soon be in trouble."
