0 average rating (0 reviews)

Nick, who has been birding since childhood, grew up in Central Ontario on the doorsteps of Algonquin Provincial Park.  After completing a Bachelor of Environmental and Resource Studies at the University of Waterloo in Ontario with a thesis on Trumpeter Swans, Nick moved to Yuma, Arizona.  There, he completed several projects including research on secretive marsh birds along the Colorado River and on Burrowing Owls at Salton Sea in Southern California.  After working three spring/summer field seasons in the desert heat and two summer/fall seasons at Southern Oregon bird banding stations, he moved to Victoria, British Columbia to assist in running the bird banding operations at the Rocky Point Bird Observatory.  Having worked for non-profit and academic organizations as well as provincial and federal governments, Nick continued his education completing a masters of Science in Biology at the University of Western Ontario.  There he studied Least Bittern populations and habitat associations at Long Point, Ontario.  After graduation, Nick and his wife moved to Calgary, Alberta where he started his professional career as a wildlife biologist for a large consulting firm.  After nine years of living in Calgary, Nick and his wife and two children moved back to Bath, Ontario in the fall 2019.  Besides enjoying being a husband, father, and avid bird watcher, Nick is also a Certified Trainer Level bird bander with the North American Banding Council and annually leads bird banding workshops in Belize.
