Richard J. Christman

'Mr. Christman'

                           

Richard J. Christman was the field stations's first resident naturalist, a position he served for more than fifteen years, retireing in 1985.  In addition to managing the site, and to assisting with Macalester courses using the field station, Christman hosted visits from many schools and community groups. Christman was an active amateur ornithologist and banded more than 40,000 birds duing his life, many of them banded at Ordway.  During his time at the Ordway field station, Christman wrote a series of Bulletins, producing a new one nearly on a monthly basis.  These 129 Bulletins can be accessed at the link below.
