He also works as a biologist with Washington’s Natural Heritage Program. Prior to joining our team, Don was Audubon’s Nevada Director of Bird Conservation. He has worked on sandhill cranes, mountain lions, neotropical migrant birds, and policy analysis of wildlife contraception as a management tool. Don has published articles in popular and peer-reviewed outlets, and is the author of two books, Birding Utah and Nevada’s Important Bird Areas. Don is an avid woodturner and is developing a small sustainable farm with his wife in Washington’s Methow Valley.
