Luis Gonzalez
Born and raised in Cuba, Luis has been an avid naturalist – with complementary passions for birds and dinosaurs – from a young age. After moving to the U.S., he attended Doral Academy High School, where he excelled in the sciences and also took up birding. He has been looking up ever since. Luis now holds a Master’s degree in IT from Florida International University.
Luis’s early fascination with herons, egrets, and other South Florida wading birds soon blossomed into a broader interest that includes New World warblers, woodpeckers, and ducks. He only regrets not starting birding sooner – but he’s making up for it by aiming to bird all seven continents.
Luis has guided birding tours not only across North America, but also in South America, Africa, and Asia. An avid eBirder, he keeps detailed records of his sightings, photographs as many species as possible, and encourages others to do the same. If you encounter him in the field, he may want to join you—because Luis believes the birding is always better with an extra pair of binoculars!
