History
Francis (Frank) La Grange Farley (1870-1949) was a bird watcher active in St. Thomas, Ontario, and later in Alberta.
Farley born in St. Thomas, Ontario, on February 24, 1870. He carried out his early bird watching activities in the St. Thomas area, before moving to Red Deer, Alberta, in March of 1892. He owned a farm there until 1907, when he moved to Camrose, Alberta. He travelled all around the provinces, collecting data for a proposed book on Alberta birds, publishing many of his observations in the Canadian Field-Naturalist. The books remained unfinished at his death.
Farley became an Associate of the American Ornithologists’ Union in 1946, and was promoted to full member only two weeks before his death. Farley died in Camrose, Alberta, on October 22, 1949.
