About this title

About the Author

DAVID FIX first learned his birds in the Pacific Northwest. From his sandbox, at age four or five, he recalls hearing Song Sparrows, but it wasn't until his teens that he began looking seriously at birds. Jobs as a timber cruiser and tree planter in the Oregon and Washington Cascades gave him much early experience with forest birds. More recently he has complemented his work in wildlife biology with extensive writing. For 20 years, David has been a subregional editor for the quarterly journal, North American Birds, and he contributes frequent essays, poetry and artwork to the Sandpiper, the newsletter of the Redwood Region Audubon Society. With his partner, Jude Claire Power, and others, David is working to publish the results of a five-year Humboldt County Breeding Bird Atlas project. David and Jude make their home in Bayside, California. ANDY BEZENER is a biologist and the author of nine nature guides for Lone Pine Publishing.
