  • Description: As an "Easter diversion" while enrolled in Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh, Jamie Smith accompanied his friend John Shanks to Ailsa Craig in the Firth of Clyde to count North Atlantic Gannets. This trip precipitated his switch to the study of Zoology and a life-long interest in the ecology of bird populations, especially on islands. James Neil Munro Smith, known to most as "Jamie," was born on 1 May 1944 in Rothesay on the Isle of Bute, Scotland, and lived much of his early life with his grandparents while his parents were in Nigeria. Jamie graduated from Edinburgh in 1967 as a Zoologist, and completed a D.Phil, under Mike Cullen at Oxford (1967-1971). As a Smithsonian Research Fellow, he studied population variation on Darwin's Finches in the Galapagos with Peter and Rosemary Grant, before moving to Canada to assume a faculty position in the Zoology Department at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 1973. For the next three decades, Jamie combined his love of birds, science, nature, and wild places to make major and sustained contributions to ornithological science, conservation, and education in Canada. He lost an 11-year battle to cancer on 18 July 2005 at his home in Vancouver, British Columbia.
