Josh Nove, 23
IPSWICH — Josh Nove, 23, of Ipswich, died accidentally
Thursday at Mother Goose Lake in the Becharof Lake/Alaska Peninsula National
Wildlife Refuge.
At the time, he was leading a group of volunteers
who were involved in a bird-banding project. He stepped away from the group
to get a closer look at two tern chicks, and fell into a hidden sinkhole
where he quickly drowned.
After graduating from Ipswich High School as
salutatorian and from Amherst College magna cum laude in 1995 as a biology
major, Mr. Nove worked as a research assistant on a number of ornithological
projects that took him from Belize to Alabama to Mississippi to Louisiana
to New Mexico. He also spent four months at the North Ronaldsay Bird Observatory
on the most remote of the Orkney Islands off the northern tip of Scotland.
For the past several summers he had been involved
with the Quebec-Labrador Foundation of Ipswich on the Quebec North Shore,
where he prepared an ecotourism guide to the area and a bilingual bird
list.
His intense interest in birds and natural history
began when he was a young child, as did his interest in drawing birds.
This latter interest expanded to include photography and he amassed a collection
of several thousand slides of the birds and people he encountered in his
travels.
His favorite local haunts were the marshes and
thickets of Plum Island and the rocky coastline of Cape Ann, where he would
spend stormy winter days with his spotting scope looking for unusual species
blown in by the strong winds.
He was a patient and careful observer of birds
and enthusiastically shared his knowledge with others.
He is survived by his parents, Eleanor Nove of
Newburyport and John Nove of Ipswich; and his grandmother, Jane Nove of
Ipswich.
A fund in his name is being established at the
Quebec-Labrador Foundation to support its summer intern program.
