Michael Hilchey - 2011

When applying to come to the Kachemak Bay shorebird Festival, Michael called birding a creed and a way of life. And for him this is certainly true – he spent a significant amount of time during his pursuit of a B.S. in Biology at the University of New Mexico working on a wide variety of bird related research projects.  Species studied include Gray Vireos, Hummingbirds and Rosy-Finches.  His presentation at the Kachemak Bay Shorebird Festival was on the Sandia Rosy-Finch Research Project.
