 Cam
Gillies
grew up enjoying
the birds and Rocky Mountains of British Columbia. He is a keen birder
and photographer and as a co-owner of Eagle-Eye Tours,
he is excited to share his passion with others. Cam has guided several
trips and has participated in a variety of research projects; everything
from catching endangered Leopard Frogs to snow tracking Wolverines. Currently,
he is completing a PhD at the University of Alberta on the movement of
forest birds in Costa Rica. During his fieldwork he managed to follow
the movements of Barred Antshrikes and Rufous-naped Wrens with radio-telemetry
as they flew far and wide! Over several years, he has traveled and birded
his way through Jamaica, Guatemala, Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru, Bolivia,
and Chile. He speaks Spanish, has been active in a number of conservation
groups and enjoys time in the outdoors skiing, hiking, canoeing, and
birding! |
