Jeff Birek

Jeff is a professional ornithologist who has spent more than two decades in the field across 27 countries on five continents: studying birds, training biologists, and finding the kind of rarities that still show up in field notes years later. Over 15 years working with the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, Point Blue Conservation Science, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and a dozen other agencies and universities, he led large-scale bird monitoring programs across nine states and trained more than 200 field biologists to identify birds by sight and sound.

He has personally found the first breeding American Three-toed Woodpeckers in Nebraska in nearly a century, a Laysan Albatross lost in the middle of the Sonoran Desert, and critically endangered Black Stilts in New Zealand. Jeff founded Pteravia Conservation Birding Tours to put all of it to use.
