In addition, Alex has had the opportunity to travel to Central America and Southern Africa in search of birds. Raptors, shorebirds and warblers are among his favorite groups of birds to observe and photograph. Look for Alex’s photos and blog entries on the popular birding website, Nemesis Bird (www.nemesisbird.com). The website includes collaborative writing, incredible photographs, and mapping.
