James Bond, American ornithologist and zoologist (born 1900)

James Bond was an American ornithologist and expert on the birds of the Caribbean, having written the definitive book on the subject: Birds of the West Indies, first published in 1936. He served as a curator of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. He is the namesake of the fictional British spy of the same name by writer Ian Fleming, and references to him permeate the resulting media franchise.
