This website and the bird trip services are organized by Harry Fuller, a resident of Ashland in southwestern, Oregon. There he is an active volunteer with Rogue Valley Audubon Society and Klamath Bird Observatory. Harry was a long-time San Francisco resident and birder. He led numerous professional and volunteer trips in that area. He was a founding member of the San Francisco Field Ornithologists. In addition Mr. Fuller has led dozens of field trips for Golden Gate Audubon Society, Strybing Arboretum, Carleton College Alumni and San Francisco Recreation and Park Dept.

Mr. Fuller has taught classes on early American ornithology, bird song and field identification at the California Academy of Sciences, local Audubon groups and Point Reyes Field Seminars. Elsewhere on this website you can find some of his articles on the history of American ornithology with an emphasis on the Pacific Coast. Also he's written and published Now and Then, a history of changes in San Francisco's natural habitats and wildlife since the earliest written records. His pieces on birding West Coast locations have also appeared in WildBird magazine. While living in Europe from 2001-2005, Mr. Fuller wrote articles on urban birding in London, Paris and Frankfurt for the American Birding Association's newsletter.
