Birds have lured Zach Adams on adventures in varied ecosystems throughout New England, across the United States, and even abroad. He has trudged through alder swamps, trotted through bogs, and canoed oxbows of the Housatonic River. Throughout his career in conservation— working with National Audubon, Mass Audubon, and Northwest Connecticut Land Conservancy, and now Trout Unlimited— Zach’s knowledge and enthusiasm have helped hundreds of people connect with birds.

His debut book, published this June, is a comprehensive guide to the birds of New England. Join us as he talks about the making of the book, his experiences as a local birder, helpful tips on all aspects of birding, and more!
