Autorenporträt
Christian Hagenlocher's passion for birds began at an early age when he saw the pair of Peregrine Falcons nesting on the Washington Mutual Tower in downtown Seattle. Since then, he's read every library book and field guide he could get his hands on, and his passion for birds and education has only grown! He is passionate about the education of people of all ages and went into the teaching profession after completing a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in 2011. As a high school Science teacher and licensed falconer, Christian has integrated birds into the curriculum in unique ways, exposing students to the ancient sport of falconry and leading international science-focused trips to Belize, Costa Rica, Israel, Colombia, and Peru. In 2016, Christian traveled the continent in search of birds, becoming the youngest person to break 700 in an ABA Big Year. Currently, he is a freelance birding guide based in Washington and Colorado, guiding for companies as his schedule allows.Andrew Guttenberg drew his first recognizable bird--a Pileated Woodpecker, before his 2nd birthday. While his skills have increased significantly since then, Andrew still pursues birds with childlike wonder and boundless curiosity. Equally at home in the field or at the drawing table, Andrew does freelance illustration mostly in colored pencil, Micron pen, and gouache. His work has been published in Birding Magazine and Montana Bird Distribution and can be found online at www.andrewguttenberg.com. When he's not chasing hummingbirds around the neotropics, Andrew can be found in beautiful western Montana, with his wife, Ana Clara.
