Abstract
President (1952-1953), and President (19541955). Bird conservation was always a priority with Phil, and one major effort he led was to gain legal protection in 1957 for hawks migrating along ridges in northeastern Pennsylvania. For that effort he was made an honorary member of the Comstock Society. Phil Street's ornithological publications include numerous reviews, memorials, and field observations published in The Auk, Wilson Bulletin, and His major contribution based on field studies was Birds of the Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania published first in Cassinia (1954), later as a book (1956, DVOC, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), and periodically updated in Cassinia. He also wrote a history of the first 100 years of the DVOC (Cassinia 63: 2-35). The measures of one's contributions to ornithology might be found in the results of service to the science and shared love of birds. Clearly through his avocation Phil Street made both ornithology and birds a bit more secure. Phil is survived by his wife of 49 years, Berrell Evans Street; a son, H. Fletcher Street; a daughter, Margaret Mitchell Wheeler; and a stepdaughter, Berrell E. Mallery. A daughter, Anne P. Street, preceded him in death.
