Interlude
View through CrossRef
This chapter looks at Nathan Leopold, a birder who was famous for teaming up with Richard Loeb to commit the crime of the century by murdering fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks. Leopold was not a casual birder. His fascination with birds had a scientific inquisitiveness, and he was perhaps headed toward a career as an ornithologist. Leopold spent a brief stint of his college years at the University of Michigan, where he studied birds under Norman Asa Wood, famous for finding the first nest of a Kirtland's Warbler. In 1922, Leopold embarked on a trip to find a Kirtland's nest. What becomes clear in reading the article he published in 1924, “The Kirtland's Warbler in Its Summer Home,” is that the qualities of a good birder or ornithologist—keen careful observation and a steely patience—are the same qualities needed to plot a murder.
