In Memoriam: Camille Ferry, 1921–2007

[摘要] In addition to his many professional and ornithological commitments, Camille was mayor of the small village near Dijon where he lived for several decades. He enjoyed a very active social life that allowed him to share life's pleasures with his many friends. He married Françoise in 1950, and they had three children, François, Nicolas, and Anne. His accomplishments and contributions provide a rich legacy for ornithology, which has not always been fully recognized, mostly because of his great modesty. Those who had the privilege to know him will always remember his incredibly wide interest in so many aspects of science, history, and philosophy. They will also remember his great sense of humor, generosity, supportive attitude toward young scientists, and, above all, his demanding standards of scientific excellence and rigor.
