If you’ve had an encounter with a wild animal – a bird stunned by hitting a window, a fox hit by a car, or a family of raccoons unexpectedly found residing in your attic – you know how hard it can be to find help.

For such a small place, birders are often spoiled for choice, there seems to be a representative of almost every neotropical family making their presence felt in some corner of habitat. On this blog, I have spoken previously of a trend I managed to pick out while compiling the information for a book I published last year.

The best test of that proposition, of course, is to repeat it to any one of the hundreds of thousands of birders who have, say, a family. But for me, leading Birds and Art tours means that I get to make friends, period, with people whose own passions—birds, art, and everything else—richly inform the way I see landscapes I thought I knew.

It’s also about personal journeys, where knowledge comes from and how it is shared, investigating the past through the lens of history and the lens of informed imagination, learning how to negotiate the grays of our ornithological heritage, and the magic of discovery.
