In Memoriam: Luis Pagano (1985-2020). A technician at Museo de La Plata, Luis played an instrumental role in developing much of the research described on this website. He started our Common Nighthawk study, taught us to band cavity-nesters and White-bearded Antshrikes, and discovered the plumage patterns that allow us to age and sex Sickle-winged Nightjars. Luis was a fantastic ornithologist, an adventurous field companion, and a dear friend who is deeply missed. His life and legacy are celebrated in a special issue of El Hornero. (English translation).
