This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

[edit]He earned his bachelors (1976) and Ph.D. (1981) from University of California, Berkeley. He first joined the Smithsonian as a member of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama in 1977.[2] His research primarily focused on the behavior, evolution, and ecology of bird species in tropical forests and wetlands.

Bird-Friendly Coffee
