It is interesting to discover famous people's passions for birding.
Reading the obituary of Stephen Schneider (1945–2010), the Nobel Prize winning climate scientist (Science 13 August 2010: Vol. 329. no. 5993, p. 776) we learn that: "His interest in the effects of climate disruption brought him together with Terry Root, a leader in studying its effects on organisms, especially on the distribution and timing of bird migration. Beginning in the 1990s he began to learn all he could about birds, and under Terry's guidance he quickly became an avid birder. They married and began a long-term collaboration that included influential papers, as well as many bird-watching and environmental
exploration expeditions."
