It is with great sadness that I report that Bob Crowley passed away last night, peacefully at home. Bob has been an important part of the New Hampshire birding community for decades and was a leading birder in Carroll County and in the state as a whole. Many will know him not only for his birding prowess but also for his engaging personality and warmth. Birding was his passion, and when mobility slowed him up he just shifted gears and focused on bird photography, finding a new way to enjoy birding.
Bob was an equally strong birding presence in Maine, especially in Oxford County in western Maine.
In earlier days Bob was a very active outdoorsman, climbing all forty-eight 4,000 foot peaks in New Hampshire, and cycling up the steep notches of the White Mountains.
Funeral arrangements will be made shortly. If you wish to get details or a full obituary just let me know.
