?Wildlife photojournalist? is just another name for ?mule? because I often find myself in remote places schlepping heavy loads of photography and camping gear. But the end results of my animal quests are usually worth the exertion. I've been writing about and photographing wild- life (especially birds) since middle school, where my classmates dubbed me ?Birdman? at age twelve. After thirty-plus years of working as a newspaper photographer and columnist, I now host science-based live-owl programs with my wife, Marcia. We care for fifteen non-releasable raptors, including a snowy owl. Check out our website: eyesonowls.com.
