... Since the 1970s, Sherry “Pilar” Thorn has been the resident expert on Honduran birds. She arrived in the country as a Peace Corps Volunteer in charge of the new biology department at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras (UNAH) in Tegucigalpa, the nation’s largest university. She remains there to this day. Largely thanks to her, data on Honduran birds found a home, and Honduran biologists were trained in ornithology. Thorn has since served as inspiration and contact person for countless Peace Corps Volunteers during three decades; Volunteers, in addition to or as part of their official missions, have often made important observations on Honduran birds.
