Quote (https://birdingbeijing.com/2020/02/12/in-memory-of-karen-phillipps):
" Finally, yes finally, to come to know Karen, the illustrator and author of my very first book on birding, The Birds of HK and Southern China (Chinese version) back in 2008. Even today, the book is still, and shall be in the future, the mostly used field guide to be unloaded off the rucksack on the birding field. Karen’s authoritative renditions of the species features shall last. Birders like I will miss Karen. "
