An interesting man, indeed. No one could replicate that wail-call -- rarely performed by Barred Owls -- like Julio could.

I remember that evening. Still have his book somewhere. An interesting man. I also saw the post on CTBirds of his passing. Jan

Way back when I was president of Allen Bird Club (Springfield, Mass.), we had Julio present a lecture on owls at an evening meeting. He was truly memorable--extraordinarily knowledgeable, articulate, ebullient--a man of rare charm and culture. Everyone went home newly engaged by his dedication to bird-life and by his dynamic personality. I treasure a copy of his wonderful book, which he inscribed personally, and I am sure that everyone who ever crossed his path was similarly affected.
