About the Author

ROGER BURROWS was born in Northampton, England, where he spent his youth as an enthusiast birder, at first along the east coast of his native land and then on more adventurous field trips to Yugoslavia, Holland and the south of France. Burrows emigrated to Canada in 1970, where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree and went to work for Parks Canada as a naturalist, interpretive planner and a consultant on birds. He worked and traveled extensively in eastern Canada and eventually completed a three-volume work entitled Birding in Atlantic Canada. Burrows now lives in British Columbia, where he continues field research on birds, works as a naturalist on Alaskan cruise ships, and writes books about birds found in various regions of North America. KRISTA KAGUME began birding with her father at the family cabin in Ontario at five years of age. Earning her B.Sc. in conservation biology Krista was able to combine her two greatest passions: nature and writing. Author of numerous natural history articles in magazines and newspapers, Krista is actively involved in a variety of ecological projects.
