CCCC; Thanks for posting the sad news sir, I just learned myself.
While we only exchanged a few PM's over the years I always appreciated his knowledge and the manner in which he conveyed it.
If anyone reading this is able to, please pass along sincere condolences.
My thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family left behind.

That is a shame. He was a very smart man, knew a lot about wildlife and biology. We pm'ed a bit. We had worked for the same employer for a time, but not at same time, we knew a few people in common though.
If Mudhen posted something, you could take it to the bank.
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

I had a chat with Mudhen via PM several weeks ago about pelicans and how they may communicate when food is spotted.
As always, Ben was full of information and happy to share it.
A good man for sure, who I will miss.
Condolences to his family.

I had Ben as a graduate teaching assistant when I was an undergrad in Wildlife Science at TAMU. A very kind and gentle man. I have seen him a few times over the years as we went our separate ways. We joked about both the Prof who taught the course (Jim Teer) and how Ben didn't know a whole lot more about the subject matter (population dynamics) at that point than we did. He sure did fake it well though. I'll miss his PM's about stuff, the latest being the new theory of tick fever from Texas cows killing huge numbers of buffalo. We both agreed that it was more than plausible.
God's speed Ben. Prayer's and best wishes for the family.

Thanks 123444,
Nice to get a visual on the man.
