It is certainly a fitting monument to its author. Peter Vickery was one of Maine’s leading ornithologists. Although he and his wife Barbara lived in Richmond, Peter worked as an avian ecologist at Massachusetts Audubon Society (where we first became friends) for over 20 years.
Nonetheless, he had put down roots in Maine, and Ralph Palmer’s classic “Maine Birds” became “his Bible,” according to Barbara. Written in 1949, it was the standard reference on Maine’s avifauna. Nature, however, does not stand still, and as the twentieth century progressed from its midpoint into the next, the book’s findings were being overtaken.

Some years ago, I discovered Greenall’s gin – on special at Heathrow’s Duty Free shop. It was love at first sip. From then on, a bottle was a prize from every trip abroad. Until last January. At the airport, Greenall’s was everywhere I looked: wild berry gin, blueberry gin, blood orange and fig gin. But of the “classic London Dry Gin handcrafted by England’s oldest gin distillery since 1761” – simple unadulterated Greenall’s – not a drop. Surely, today’s gin craze has gone too far.
