Wallace profiled on WAMU Metro Connection

[Paul Pisano]

Subscribers to MDBIRDING know Wallace Kornack via his daily logs of sightings from Rock Creek Park.  Here's a chance to learn more about him (and a shameless plug for ebird).  WAMU (the local station that hosts NPR in DC) has a weekly show called Metro Connection, which highlights people & places in the DC area.  The show that first aired on May 17th profiled Wallace and his tireless efforts to keep track of birds in Rock Creek Park during migration.  It's a really nice piece and the recognition is well deserved.  It's only 7+ minutes, and worth it (in my opinion).  Here's the link...

I hope Wallace doesn't mind me posting this (and I don't recall seeing it mentioned earlier).  

Good birding,

Enjoyable show--a well-deserved focus on Wallace and Rock Creek Park and all that he does for that place. Bravo, Wallace.

Thanks Paul - a lot of fun!  We need more stories like this in the local media to get the joy of birding out in the public!

Thanks for posting this, Tim.  A friend of mine who lives in Delaware heard the show and told me about it.
When she was in town we went birding in  Rock Creek Park ahe remembered Wallace.
