William J. Schaldach, Jr.

1924 - 2005


"Dean of Mexican Ornithology"

(I have no idea who stuck him with this moniker)


I met Willy in 2001 and he was very kind to me,

imparting his fascinating lore of Los Tuxtlas.


He was totally impoverished, became seriously and died in 2005.


I know how hard he tried to finish his Checklist, and I take the liberty

of publishing it here as a tribute to his mind, and as thanks for his caring.


Unfortunately the checklist still lacks a final edit.
