Though Kaiden has been an avid naturalist for as long as he can remember, his love of birds stems from one fateful encounter with a bird feeder at age 13. Hailing from the Sunshine Coast bordering the Pacific Ocean of Canada, Kaiden has traveled far and wide in search of birds, both as a personal pastime and often for work. From bird banding in the steamy jungles of Belize, to seabird surveys in the misty fjords of the great bear rainforest, his keen interest in birds has continued to pull him all over the globe.
Over the last few years, Kaiden began guiding as a career to enable him to not only observe birds, but also to connect with like-minded people and share his love and knowledge of the natural world. Some of his favorite bird families include Albatross, Jaegers, Alcids, Owls, Hummingbirds and Wood-warblers. When not guiding, he can usually be found somewhere in coastal British Columbia, sea kayaking, freediving, and of course birding.
