About the Authors

David Beadle grew up in Kent, England, where he had no interest in the natural world until he was gripped by an obsession with birds in his late teens. It was while working at a bird observatory that David became interested in moths, an interest that soon grew to an all-consuming passion. He now lives in Toronto, Ontario, with his wife and son, and he has photographed more than 2,000 species of moths in that province alone.

In addition to his work with moths, David has contributed to over thirty books and countless journals, including New World Warblers and A Field Guide to the Birds of Chile.

Jon Curson has spent much of the last 10 years studying birds at observatories and in the field in the United States and Canada, and has taken several long research trips to Mexico and the tropics. He has contributed many articles on American warblers to ornithological journals and is a committee member of the Neotropical Bird Club.

David Quinn's illustrations have appeared in a wide variety of natural history publications. He was voted Bird Illustrator of the Year in 1987 by the journal British Birds.
