In the realm of public relations, Earl was always intensely interested in observations by bird-watchers of all levels, and he spent many office hours listen- ing to, noting down, and commenting upon what they had to say. Earl's dedication meant that he often worked in his office late into the evening, making up for research time lost responding to public inquiries during the day. In addition to museum work, Earl actively studied the birds around Ottawa, and, for years, many of his observations were recorded in the weekly columns of John Bird, in the Ottawa Journal, and Wilf Bell, in the Ottawa Citizen. He also contributed very sig- nificantly to Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club bird counts, often in the company of his loyal friend and botanical compatriot Doug Savile. and earlier with Club members Fred Bourguignon and Rowley Frith6. After he moved to Nepean [now west-end Ottawa] in 1970, Earl entered his observations in a daily jour- nal. His "backyard list" rose to 148 species, and. in the fall of 2001, shortly before being admitted to.
