I have been big on birds since I was a kid and did my MSc in Ornithology in 2013 studying the behaviour of the Common Poorwill. I am also the BC Regional Coordinator of the Nightjar Survey Program with Birds Canada and am super interested in nocturnal creatures of all kinds as well as citizen science. In addition to birding, I also spend time playing video games, table top games and watching RuPaul. As an openly gay man living downtown, I am often finding opportunities for birding community to be scarce and hopefully we can change that!<p style="margin:0px;padding:0px;user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;overflow-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;vertical-align:baseline;font-kerning:none;text-align:left;text-indent:0px"> <p style="margin:0px;padding:0px;user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;overflow-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;vertical-align:baseline;font-kerning:none;text-align:left;text-indent:0px">Accessibility note: This program involves moving on pavement, gravel and uneven surfaces of moderate inclines, for up to 2 hours.
