About the Author

Melissa Fratello lived much of her life unaware of the joys of the living world, hanging out in shopping malls and other atrocious places she now considers hell on earth. Her son became enamored with birds as a child, and transformed her entire perspective on the world and how we interact with it. Her mission is to share the living world with others while encouraging them to protect it, and to convince birders that birds need us to prioritize saving them over watching them. She is the Executive Director of the Tucson Bird Alliance, co-organizer of Feminist Bird Club Tucson Chapter, co-author ofBirds of Arizona and New Mexico: A Timber Press Field Guide, and a proud slow birder.
 
Steven Prager is a field biologist, science communicator, conservation advocate, lifelong Arizonan, and co-author of Birds of Arizona and New Mexico: A Timber Press Field Guide.. He may occasionally write a book about birds, but the avian world is just a small part of what keeps this naturalist busy. He’s always happy to go birding, but he’s likely to miss that passing rarity as he lets his thoughts and eyes wander to the snakes, lizards, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates (especially ants) that also call the Southwest home.
