In one document, I was referred to as a “self-taught ornithologist.” Another challenge to bird research is that it is woefully underfunded and relies heavily on citizen science.

He also believes that we are living in an era of incredible scientific research, one in which new genetic technology and findings from diverse scientific disciplines have turned assumptions upside down, opened up new lines of thought, and provided answers, or at least probable answers, to many of our questions about why birds do the things they do.
