Paul Bartsch
(14 Aug 1871 - 24 Apr 1960)

German-American zoologist with the Smithsonian Institution, who initiated systematic, scientific bird banding in North America in 1902.

“There are still many unsolved problems about bird life, among which are the age that birds attain, the exact time at which some birds acquire their adult dress, and the changes which occur in this with years. Little, too, is known about the laws and routes of bird migration, and much less about the final disposition of the untold thousands which are annually produced.”
— Paul Bartsch
