An Anhinga sparked Adam’s passion for birds when he was a child. Since then, a love of sharing his enthusiasm about the natural world has led Adam to work on many different environmental and education projects, including as a naturalist guide. He has guided trips from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego and beyond. His varied biologist positions have included training naturalist guides in Baja California, assessing sites for the Great Florida Birding Trail, and working as Florida’s first Scrub-Jay Conservation Coordinator. He is a past President of the Florida Ornithological Society and is involved with the state’s second breeding bird atlas. One of Adam’s birding highlights was making recordings that led to the description of a new species of bird in Mexico, the Nava’s Wren. Adam and his wife Gina reside in Gainesville, Florida.
