Michael Klotz – The Bird Blogger
Michael lives in Langley, BC, where he works to support his passion for birding. British Columbia’s diverse ecosystems make it one of North America’s top birding destinations, and the Greater Vancouver area boasts an impressive variety of species. His birding adventures have taken him across North and Central America, the Caribbean, and even Africa, with over 1300 species on his life list. Inspired by his grandfather, Michael started birding at age eight and became more serious about it while studying in Santa Barbara. Photography became a natural extension of his birding, helping him capture and identify species more easily. Michael aims to share his love for birds and promote conservation by protecting key habitats worldwide.

My partner has been slowly but surely getting more into bird watching, so I took them for a half day tour of Abbotsford with Michael and Carli for their birthday. They were the dream team to have as new bird watchers, and worked with us to plan our tour and make sure we came away happy. They were approachable, knowledgeable, and obviously passionate about birds, and gave us a really fun introduction. A must if you’re wanting to get into bird watching!
