Boy, following that link and doing a little bit of internet surfing, I came across a bunch of articles with pretty much the same tone.

Here is a little bit of biograpy that I was able to find on Emile DeVito. This nut sounds like another Audubohn type.

He has two decades of ecosystem restoration and managing lands for wildlife biodiversity. His background includes research in the NJ Pinelands, studying landscape patterns of the distribution and abundance of bird species at different scales.
