Dispatches from a lowly biologist.

I'm a professional wildlife biologist. I work with a research wildlife biologist on birds, deer, coyotes, wild pigs, and coarse woody debris. I've always been interested in nature, I would explore my neighborhood when I was boy looking for deer tracks and secluded fishing holes. I decided to get serious about pursuing a wildlife career when I discovered I had a good ear for identifying bird calls and songs to species when I was about 24 years old. My interests are traveling the world, bird-watching, photography, and just being outdoors. My wife, who is also a professional biologist, and I take vacations where we mostly bird and make lists of things we see. We almost always try to hire a local guide when traveling in a foreign country. I'm also interested in the latest politics, church-state issues, evolution, science vs. religion, nature, books, and American history. View all posts by dispatchesfromalowlybiologist
